Changes, Cautions & Corrections

UNIVERSAL JOINT DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: CAUTION - Universal joints should NOT be disassembled or lubricated unless external leaking or damage has occurred. Before disassembly, scribe alignment marks on yoke and shaft so that shaft parts can be reassembled in original position. If joints are rusted or corroded, apply penetrating oil before pressing out bearing cups or trunnion pin.
SLIP YOKE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: NOTE - If slip yoke has a tendency to stick in extension housing seal, service as follows: Remove propeller shaft from vehicle and clean yoke with suitable solvent. Lubricate inside diameter of seal with synthetic oil seal lubricant and outside diameter of seal with transmission fluid. This procedure should be followed whenever shaft is removed from vehicle.
