4. Use a soft, round drive pin with a flat face
approximately 1/32" (0,8 mm) smaller than the hole
diameter in the yoke to drive on one end of the cross
and bearing assembly until the opposite bearing
assembly comes out of the yoke.
5. Turn the yoke over and tap on the exposed end of
the cross until the opposite bearing assembly comes
out of the yoke.
6. Remove the cross (2) from the yoke (4 or 5).
7. Repeat Steps 2 thru 6 to remove the cross and
bearing assembly on the other end of the drive shaft.
8. Engine-to-Transmission Drive Shaft Only: Use a
pair of pliers to compress the snap rings holding the
cross (2) and bearing assemblies (3) to the flange
yoke (6). Remove the snap rings from the grooves in
the yokes.
9. Use a soft, round drive pin with a flat face
approximately 1/32" (0,8 mm) smaller than the hole
diameter in the yoke to drive on one end of the cross
and bearing assembly until the opposite bearing
assembly comes out of the yoke.
10. Mark the yoke shaft (4) and slip yoke (5) so that they
can be properly aligned when reassembled. Yokes at
both ends of the drive shaft must be in the same
plane to help prevent excessive vibration.
11. Unscrew the dust cap (7) and slide the slip yoke (5)
off of the drive shaft splines.
12. Remove the dust cap (7), split retaining ring (8) and
felt seal (9) from the shaft assembly.
