3. Remove the internal snap rings, 1, from the
U-joint using pliers. Remove the grease zerk, 2,
from one bearing cup before the snap ring may
be removed.
NOTE: The grease zerk, 2, is oriented to line up with
other grease zerks on the driveline. Note the
positioning of the grease zerk prior to removal.

4. Position the joint in an open vise, with each ear
of one yoke supported by a vise jaw.
5. With a soft hammer or mallet, strike the top ear
of the unsupported yoke. This will drive the top
bearing outward approx. 8 mm (1/4″).
IMPORTANT: Do not use a hard faced hammer, as
this may damage the edge of the bearing cup bore in
the yoke or the snap ring groove area, causing the
bearing cup to hang-up or seize in the yoke.
6. Pull the bearing out of the yoke ear. If necessary,
grip the loosened bearing in a vise, and drive the
yoke off the bearing by striking yoke ear with the
soft-faced hammer or mallet.
7. This same procedure should be followed to
remove the bearing directly opposite the one just
removed, after which the yoke itself may be
removed.
