Once I draw the ball cover off and slide it back, does the pilot shaft slide out of the yoke so I can move the TT out of the way? Or do I have to unbolt the covers off the trundle bearings and separate the u joint? It is not really clear in my shop manual.
Thanks

Take the joint apart, and you should be able to slide the yoke back and then lower the tube.
