3) Remove cross shaft assembly from yoke. DO NOT remove seal
retainers from cross shaft. Cross shaft and retainers are serviced as
an assembly.
Reassembly
1) Coat roller and bearing assemblies with lubricant, and
fill reservoirs in ends of cross. Place cross assembly in drive shaft
yoke, and place roller and bushing assemblies into position.
2) Press both bushing assemblies into yoke until retainers
can be installed, being careful to keep cross aligned in center of
bushings. Install retainers, then repeat procedure for remaining
bushings.
CONSTANT VELOCITY (CV) TYPE
NOTE: To prevent damage to constant velocity joints, center ball
when removing drive shaft assembly. When handling drive shaft
after removal, support shafts on both sides of constant
velocity joint if drive shaft is being moved horizontally.
DO NOT allow one end to hang free or one shaft to bend at
sharp angle. After removal, shaft may be carried vertically
without damage.
Removal & Disassembly (Jeep)
1) Disconnect yoke attaching bolts and flange attaching
bolts, and remove drive shaft from vehicle. Mark joint so that center
yoke, end yoke, and cross shafts will be installed in original
positions.
2) Pry out all snap rings and press bearing out enough to
allow bearing end to be clamped in vise. Tap on yoke until it is free
of bearing.
3) Repeat procedure for remaining bearings. Remove remaining
parts from center yoke assembly.
Reassembly
1) Pack all bearings with specified grease. Assemble center
yoke components in reverse order of disassembly.
2) Using arbor press or vise, press 2 opposing bearings into
osition at same time until all bearings are installed. Be sure cross
shafts and yokes remain aligned during this process.
3) Check for free movement of joint. If bind exists, seat
bearings by sharply rapping yokes with brass hammer. Never hammer on
bearings.
4) Install drive shaft in vehicle, making sure marks made
during disassembly are aligned.
Installation (All Models)
NOTE: The drive shaft assembly, with cross and bearings installed,
must have its yoke ears at each end of the shaft on same
plane.
1) Before installing drive shaft, clean yoke and inspect
machined surface for scratches, nicks or burrs.
2) Provide support for drive shaft during installation to
prevent damage to universal joints. Position front end of shaft and
aligning marks noted during removal.
3) Install and attach 2 clamps to pinion yoke. Install 4
screws and lock washer assemblies on CV joint at transfer case. Use
press bar to prevent assembly from rotating while attaching screw
assemblies.
