DISASSEMBLY

1. Place the driveshaft on a suitable workbench. Be careful not to damage the tube.

CAUTION:  Under no circumstances is the driveshaft assembly to be clamped in the jaws of a vise or similar holding fixture. Denting or
localizing fracture can result, causing driveshaft failure during vehicle operation.

2. Index-mark the driveshaft components.

NOTE:  If components are not marked and therefore installed incorrectly, driveline imbalance can occur.

3. Clamp U-Joint Tool in a vise.

4. Remove the snap rings.
