1.
Use snap ring pliers to remove the snap rings that secure the
drive fl ange to the cross. Figure 5.67.
• If the snap ring is diffi cult to remove: Use a brass
drift and hammer to lightly tap the center of the bushing to
assist snap ring removal.
• If the snap ring is still diffi cult to remove: Use an
appropriate size sleeve and press to press down lightly on
the bearing. This will create more space between the drive
fl ange and the bearing so the snap ring can be dislodged
from the groove easier.
