Need to tighten up bolt on rear yoke on front diff

the seal is not bad. It’s not leaking oil around seal. I just started getting a tiny bit of oil slinging out from the thread area. Called my mechanic and he told me that’s what happens when that bolt gets a little loose. The yoke did develop slight movement. He wants me to bring up to his shop after work one day this week which is 45 minutes away to tighten the bolt. I already bought a 2 1/8 socket and gonna do this by myself to save time. I have a 3/4 ratchet and a 6 foot breaker bar. My question is, how do I remove the u joint off the yoke. The u joint is pretty new. Looks like I can just undo those 2 straps on either side. Is it as simple as that and the drive shaft drops down? What’s the torque specs on those bolts when I remount it? Just want to be prepared so let me know if anything to look out for and any pointers. Circled in red the straps I’m talking about. Again, this is the yoke on the back of the front diff going toward the rear diff. The short drive shaft.

 

easy as that? thank you sir. Can you point me in the right direction for strap kit? so I an order one on the computer tonight? its 02 petebilt 379

 

Thank you sir. I’ll call peterbilt in the morning and get the part number for the joint kit. I don’t think they will have the strap kit so when I get the unjoint part number I will reply back to you

 

I’m curious as well but I thinks somewhere around 600 ft pounds or more. I was just gonna crank down on the bolt with my 6 ft breaker until the yoke was snug and tight

 

####!! that's a lot of torque. So I guess ill have to hang my 230 pound body on the 6 ft bar huh. its actually one of those 6ft aluminum fence posts
