Rear Pinion Yoke

[ErichW]

So my driveshaft on my 2008 Silverado Crew Cab came out on the highway last week. It also broke a tab that holds the U-Joint in place on the pinion yoke. My buddy broke the nut loose without telling me and removed the yoke thinking he was being helpful. I know marking and lining everything back up the way it was is crucial. What would be my next move here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pull the axles and center chunk, then measure pinion bearing preload for used bearings...

 

That's my thought anyway...
