Service Notes

Before disassembling any universal joint, examine the assembly carefully and note the position of any grease fittings used. In addition, be sure to mark the yokes' relationship to the propeller shaft so they may be reassembled in the same relative position. Failure to observe these precautions may produce improper vehicle operating conditions that will result in rapid component wear and failure.

When universal joints are disassembled for lubrication or inspection and the old parts are to be reinstalled, special care must be exercised to avoid damage to universal joint spider or cross and bearing cups.
