DONT EAT THE BLUE LOCTITE! Calling all Mechanics... Cummins Truck Vibration FIX??
What happens here
Align the two halves of the driveshaft and slide them together. Then, position the new carrier bearing housing back onto the truck frame. Apply Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 to the bolts. Use the cordless impact driver to tighten the nuts, while using a specialized low-clearance wrench (Kobalt Xtreme Access Socket Set is shown) on the bolt heads to hold them in place in the tight space. The specialized tool allows access to hold the bolts, which would otherwise be difficult due to clearance issues.
Goal: Secure the driveshaft to the truck frame with the new carrier bearing.
