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.
