Drive/Propeller Shaft: Service and Repair
Disassembly and Assembly
Single Cardan Universal Joint
DISASSEMBLY
1. Place the driveshaft on a suitable workbench, being careful not to damage the tube.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances is the driveshaft to be clamped in the jaws of a vise or similar holding fixture. Denting or localized fracture
of the tube can result, which can cause driveshaft and coupling shaft failure during vehicle operation.
2. Prior to disassembly, mark the positions of the driveshaft components relative to the driveshaft tube. All components must be reassembled in the
same relationship to maintain proper balance.
NOTE: If components are not marked and therefore installed incorrectly, driveline imbalance may occur.
3. Clamp U-Joint Tool T74P-4635-C in vise.
4. Remove the snap rings that retain the bearing cups.
