SERVICE PROCEDURES
PRECAUTIONS
Use exact replacement hardware for attaching the
propeller shafts. Exact replacement will ensure safe
operation. The specified torque must always be ap-
plied when tightening the fasteners.
Put reference marks on the propshaft yoke and
axle or transmission yoke before service (Fig. 1). This
will assure correct phasing and eliminate possible vi-
bration.
CAUTION: Do not allow the propeller shaft to drop
or hang from either universal joint during removal.
Attach it to the vehicle underside with wire to pre-
vent damage to the universal joints.
CAUTION: It is very important to protect the ma-
chined, external surface of the slip yoke from dam-
age after propeller shaft removal. If damaged, the
transmission extension seal could be damaged and
cause a leak.
FRONTÐXJ VEHICLES
REMOVAL
(1) Raise the vehicle.
(2) Scribe alignment marks on the yokes at the
transfer case. Place marks at the pinion shaft and at
each end of the propeller shaft. These marks will be
used for installation reference (Fig. 2).
(3) Remove the U-joint strap bolts at the pinion
shaft yoke.
(4) Disconnect the propeller shaft at the transfer
case and remove the propeller shaft.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the propeller shaft with the yoke refer-
ence marks aligned (Fig. 1). Install the propeller
shaft.
Replacement U-joint straps and bolts must be
installed.
(2) Tighten the U-joint strap/clamp bolts at the
axle yoke to 19 Nzm (14 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Tighten the flange to transfer case bolts to 27
Nzm (20 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Lower the vehicle.
REARÐXJ,YJ VEHICLES
REMOVAL
(1) Shift the transmission and transfer case (if ap-
plicable) to their Neutral positions. Raise the vehicle.
(2) Scribe alignment marks at the pinion shaft and
at each end of the propeller shaft. These marks will
be used for installation reference.
(3) Remove the U-joint strap bolts at the pinion
shaft yoke.
(4) Slide the slip yoke off of the transmission/
transfer case output shaft and remove the propeller
shaft (Fig. 3).
INSTALLATION
(1) Slide the slip yoke on the transmission/transfer
case output shaft. Align the installation reference
marks at the axle yoke and install the propeller shaft
(Fig. 3).

UNIVERSAL JOINT REPLACEMENT
PRECAUTIONS
It is very important to put reference marks on the
yokes before removal or component service (Fig. 1). This
will assure correct phasing and eliminate possible vibra-
tion.
SINGLE CARDAN
REMOVAL/DISASSEMBLY
Single cardan universal joints are not serviceable.
If worn or leaking, they must be replaced as a unit.
(1) Remove the propeller shaft. Refer to Propeller
Shaft Replacement in this Group.
(2)Paint or score alignment marks on the yokes
and propeller shaft for installation reference.
(3) Using a soft drift, tap the outside of the bear-
ing assembly to loosen snap ring.
(4) Remove snap rings from both sides of yoke (Fig.
2).(5) Set the yoke in an arbor press or vise with a large
socket beneath it. Position the yoke with the lube fitting
pointing up (if equipped). Place a smaller socket on the
upper bearing assembly and press it through to release
the lower bearing assembly (Fig. 3).
(6) If the bearing assembly will not pull out by hand
after pressing, tap the base of the lug near it to dis-
lodge.
(7) To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke
over and straighten the cross in the open hole. Then
carefully press the end of the cross until the remain-
ing bearing can be removed (Fig. 4).
CAUTION: If the cross or bearing assembly are cocked
when being pressed, the bearing assembly will score
the walls of the yoke bore and ruin the yoke.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
(1) Clean all the universal joint yoke bores with
cleaning solvent and a wire brush.
(2) Inspect the yokes for distortion, cracks and
worn bearing assembly bores.
ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
(1) Apply extreme pressure (EP) N.L.G.I. Grade 1
or 2 grease to aid in installation.
(2) Position the cross in the yoke with its lube fit-
ting (if equipped) pointing up (Fig. 5).
(3) Place a bearing assembly over the trunnion and
align it with the cross hole (Fig. 6). Keep the needle
