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.
