    Put on a new center support bearing and seemed to have lost a nut for the front part of the 2-piece drive shaft where it bolts on to the front flange. Anybody know what size it is? Couldn't seem to match it up at the local stores. An exploded diagram might help too.

    Thanks Area51. I did manage to find the part numbers and diagram, but I was hoping for the actual sizes so I could double-check for them at some generic store instead of driving to a dealership with the part numbers. But no matter, I did manage to find the missing bolt and nut. My nuts and bolts tray must've got kicked hard enough to pop out that nut and bolt and roll them clear across the garage. I looked hard the first time, but the second time my daughter helped me and she was checking the nooks and crannies clear on the other side of the garage. I have no idea how they could've gotten over there under some garage junk. I thought they accidentally got thrown in the garbage with some shop rags after I removed the DS; the next morning was garbage day; the garbage truck already came, so I couldn't check the garbage. I bookmarked the diagrams. They are quite helpful. Thanks again.
