REMOVAL OF THE SLIP JOINT
1.
Slip Joint (All Types). Unscrew the dust cap from the
sleeve yoke and slide the joint off the driveshaft (Fig.
17).
2.
ARROW MARKS - Make sure arrow marks are
stamped on the shaft and sleeve yoke before
removing the slip joint (Fig. 18). If arrow marks are
not readily seen, mark both members so that when
reassembled they will be in exactly the same relative
position, since the sleeve yoke lugs must be in the
same plane as the stub ball yokes to prevent
excessive vibration.
