1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw at the
flexible cone base of the outer shield tube. Then, twist
the flexible cone until the cone flare aligns with the
bearing tab (See Figure 5). Pull the yoke and inner
profile out of the tubing.
2. Remove the spring pin.
3. Find a pipe that is large enough to slide the inner profile
inside, but is small enough that the end yoke will not
pass through. This pipe should extend at least 4 inches
past the end of the driveline inner profile.
A. Insert the inner profile into the pipe.
B. Place a steel plate on the floor and, with the
yoke pointing up, bounce the pipe on the steel
plate. After several bounces, the inner profile
should drop out of the yoke and onto the floor.
4. Cut the yoke end of both the shaft and shield tube by
the length determined.
5. Insert the profile back into the yoke and drill a new
spring pin hole.
6. Insert the spring pin.
7. Drill new holes in the shield to accept the shield bearing.
8. Install the driveline shield by reversing the disassembly
process from Step 1.
If you determined that your driveline needs to be shortened,
use the following steps to modify the shaft length.
If the amount required to be cut off does not include a grease
zerk use the steps in section 4.3.1. If a grease zerk is within
the cutting area, use the steps in section 4.3.2.
IMPORTANT
The driveline shields must be reinstalled to the original
equipment standards of construction and installation.
