1. Support propeller shaft in horizontal position in line with base plate of a press.





2. Place universal joint so that lower ear of shaft yoke is supported on a 1 1/8-inch socket.





3. Lower bearing cap (19) out of yoke ear by placing J 9522-3 on open horizontal bearing cap (19) and press lower bearing cap (19) out of yoke ear. This shears the nylon injected ring on lower bearing cap (19). If bearing cap (19) is not completely removed, lift J 9522-3 and insert J 9522-5 between seal (23) and bearing cap (19). Complete removal of bearing cap (19) by pressing it out of yoke.
4. Rotate propeller shaft. Shear opposite nylon injected ring.
5. Opposite bearing cap (19) out of yoke.
6. Spider (2) from yoke.

Clean
- There are no bearing retainer grooves in production bearing caps (19), therefore, they cannot be reused.
- If front universal joint is being replaced, remove pair of bearing caps (19) from propeller shaft slip yoke in the same manner.
- Yoke in area locating retainer ring (4) to insure proper assembly.
- All sheared nylon from universal joint cup bore.





Important: Production universal joints of this type cannot be reassembled. Nylon injected ring universal joints are replaced by external snap ring universal joints. When reassembling a propeller shaft, always install a complete propeller shaft universal joint service kit. This kit includes one pregreased spider (2), four service bearing cap with seals (23), needle roller bearing (21), delrin round washers (20), delrin flat washers (22), grease and four retainer rings (4). Make sure that the seals (23) are in place on the service bearing caps (19) to hold the needle roller bearings (21) in place during handling.
