I spent a couple hours searching google and a couple of forums and do not want to break anything with a hammer just yet
I haven't found anything specifically relevent. I have a 1985 supercab 4x4 and in the rear end it has a split driveshaft. I have a slip type yolk towards the rear of the truck which has a grease fitting, and it slides back and forth over the shaft of the forward driveshaft, before the carrier bearing, plate, housing assembly.
I want to pull this slip assembly apart so I can cleanup the bearing, squirt some new grease in there and install a new carrier bearing rubber housing. The old one is cracked apart and allows play in the driveshaft.
I assume this somehow comes apart so you can service the bearing, and I cannot fit the rubber housing over the yolk end.
I pulled the yolk side all the way out but it hits a brick wall and I can see some blue casting markings on the shaft at that point, but I stopped there.
Thanks for any info!
