Disassembly Note
Caution:
^
Under no circumstances is the propeller shaft to be clamped in the jaws of a vise or similar holding fixture. Denting or localizing fracture can
result, causing propeller shaft failure during vehicle operation.
1. Place the propeller shaft on a suitable workbench. Be careful not to damage the tube.
Caution:
^
If components are not marked and therefore installed incorrectly, driveline imbalance can occur.
2. Index-mark the propeller shaft components.
3. Clamp U-Joint Tool SST 205-086 (T74P-4635-C) or equivalent in a vise.
4. Remove the snap rings.
Note:
^
If necessary, use a pair of pliers to remove a bearing cup if it cannot be pressed out all the way.
5. Remove the propeller shaft slip yoke.
