Just had the rear driveshaft fall off the 97 Blazer 4x4 while driving. The U-joint connection from the rearend broke free and out came the driveshaftto the ground. Is there anything special I should know about or look for before I reinstall it with new U-Joints?

 

Just make sure that the slip yoke at the front was not damaged and that the ears on both the driveshaft and the yoke on the diff weren't damaged when it came apart.

 

Wow..i came a hairs breath from this happening to me 1.5weeks ago! The U-Joint actually snapped & N-O i Never bag my Blazer,i really can't anyways as it STILL isn't running right anyhow!

Allz you need is a 5" vise Skoot.
