By the book, ” To remove this universal joint, remove the speedometer gear and shaft from the joint ball retainer, to eliminate the possibility of stripping the teeth of these gears, Separate the joint by removing the cap screws holding the retaining collar to the ball retainer and slide the ball back onto the propeller shaft housing. Remove the nuts from the bolts holding the joint rings together and split the joint. Remove the cap screw holding the front yoke to the end of the transmission main shaft with a special long shank wrench. Remove the rear yoke from the end of the propeller shaft. In assembly the operations are just the reverse with the exception that care should be taken to see that the trunnion bearings are assembled to the yokes with the beveled side of the bearing towards the inside of the yoke. The universal joint holder will assist in holding the front half of the yoke and the front rung while the nuts are being started.
After the universal joint has been installed the joint ball and collar in their proper places , fill the universal joint ball with transmission lubricant through the battery ground strap hole at the rear of the transmission case. The joint will require no further lubrication, as additional lubricant needed is received from the transmission.”
