Yeah, one thing comes back to me...make sure your head isn't below the driveshaft while you're pulling it out.[sm=outcold.gif]

You need all four. Two go on the cups that get pressed into the drive shaft and two go on the cups that fit into the differential yoke. Without them the drive shaft will not be centered and balanced.
