Removal Procedure
Caution: Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping propeller shaft tubing in a vise could dent or deform the tube causing an imbalance or
unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage
the bushing or cut the lip seal.
Note: The following service procedure can be used for either the external retaining ring or the nylon injected ring.
Note: If replacing the propeller shaft slip yoke, proceed to step 10.
1. Using a hammer (2), tap the yoke (1) lightly in order to relieve the pressure from the universal joint retaining ring.
