Remove the capscrews and bearing caps from the intermediate axle end yoke. Remove
capscrews, lock plates, and bearing caps from rear end yoke of front shaft. Remove the
second shaft with journal crosses and remaining bearings as a unit. Intermediate axle end
yoke remains on machine.
FRONT
Prop up the rear of the shaft and remove the capscrew from “hanger” bearing; do not allow
the shaft to fall onto or rest on the hydraulic connections on the outrigger solenoid valve. If
the second shaft has been removed, remove the capscrews, lock plates, and bearing caps
from the transmission end yoke. If the second shaft is in place, remove these same
components from the front end yoke of the second shaft also. Remove the front shaft with
journal cross(es) and remaining bearings as a unit.
SLIP JOINT REMOVAL
Before removing the slip joint, be certain there are arrow marks stamped on the shaft and
sleeve yoke. If the arrow marks are not readily seen, mark both members so that, when
reassembling, these marks can be placed in the same relative position. This is extremely
important because the sleeve yoke lugs must be in the same place as the stub ball yokes
to prevent excessive vibration in operation.
Remove the slip joint by unscrewing the dust cap from the sleeve yoke and sliding the joint
off the drive shaft.
UNIVERSAL JOINT DISASSEMBLY
Disassemble the universal joints by the following procedure:
1. Bend the lock plates down with a screwdriver and remove the capscrews.
2.
Using a large pair of channel lock pliers to grip retaining cap edges, turn retaining cap
and bearing assembly while at the same time lifting the assembly from the journal
trunnion and out of the yoke hole.
