Removal
3. Using an arbor press, press down on the upper bear-
ing cup assembly until the shoulder of the journal
cross makes contact with the inside of the yoke ear.
Caution - DO NOT over press the bearing cup and
journal cross. This can damage the inside of the
yoke ear.
4. The bearing cup is not designed to drop out of the
yoke. Move the partially pressed-out bearing cup
from side to side, to "walk" the bearing cup out of the
yoke ear. Remove the bearing cup from the trun-
nion.
5. Place the yoke in the press, with the remaining bear-
ing cup face down. Using a push rod, press on the
end of the journal cross trunnion. Continue to press
down on the journal cross trunnion until the shoul-
der of the journal cross makes contact with the
inside of the yoke ear.
Inspect Tube Yoke and Flange Yoke (if applicable)
1. Inspect the tube yoke and flange yoke (if applicable)
cross hole surfaces for damage or raised metal.
Raised metal or fretting can be removed from yoke
cross holes with a fine-toothed file and/or emery
cloth.
Removal Procedure for Slip Member Boot
Mark Driveshaft ("Phasing Marks")
1. It is imperative to mark all mating components of the
driveshaft. Mark the driveshaft with a marking stick,
paint marker or other legible marking device.
2. Remove and discard both boot clamps. Clamps may
be separated using a chisel to disengage locking
hooks. DO NOT reuse clamps.
3. Completely collapse the boot toward the yoke shaft
to expose weld ring and spline sleeve area. Wipe
weld ring and spline sleeve areas clean.
4. Remove the yoke shaft and boot from the spline
sleeve. Discard boot.
