CAUTION: Do not re-use old Jockwashers in this
location: Only 14B-l-28 bolts are to be installed as
they are a Grade 8 bolt with a longer than normal un-
!hreaded section as shown in Figure 14-2: It is also
important that only (19-3-162) Grade 8 hex nuts are
installed on these bolts. The recommended torque of
the nuts on bolts is 35 to 39 ft. lbs.

vehicle by removing the bolts which attach the
universal joint flanges to the differential and tran-
smission shafts. It is not necessary to disassemble the
universal joints for removal of the propeller shaft
assembly.
To remove the propeller shaft, loosen the slip joint
dust cap. Remove nuts, bolts and washers which at-
tach the propeller shaft flanges to transmission and
differential shaft flanges and telescope the propeller
shaft together at the slip joint.
DISASSEMBLY OF UNIVERSAL JOINTS
Bend tangs of Jock plate. Unscrew bolts at univer-
sal joint bearings. Remove lock plate. Tap yoke until
needle bearing assembly at opposite end drops out.
Tilt center cross and remove. Do not permit needle
bearings to drop on floor.
CLEANING
&
INSPECTION
Thoroughly clean grease from bearings, journals,
and other parts. Clean all lubricant passages in the
journal, and the lubrication fittings. Needle bearing
assemblies may be soaked in cleaning solution to sof-
ten particles of hard grease. It is extremely important
that bearing assemblies be absolutely clean, since
even very small particles of dirt or grit can cause
rapid bearing wear. Do not attempt to disassemble
needle bearings.
Bearing journal areas should be inspected for
roughness or grooving. If light honing does not
remove
roughness,
the
entire
bearing
assembly
should be replaced. Excessive wear of the needle
bearings is indicated if the needles drop out of the
