Removing torque tube

[Bob Culver]

Unless there is some peculiarty about vans it is customary to remove as a unit, although the torque tube can be removed complete. But care is necessary to note adjustment, where shims fell from etc. Depending on the type, the pinon bearing may be quite a tight fit. There was extensive here recently about removal of the cotters, pursuading the unit back in between the springs etc. Might be worth searching.
