How do i disconnect the drive shaft and get to the slip yoke?

Can someone provide some insight or a link to a how-to to disconnect the drive shaft or how to gain access and grease the slip yoke?

i searched pretty extensively, but didnt find much.

im pretty that this is causing my jerking and delay when taking off from a stop.


thanks!

I believe they have a special grease for the splines. I don't think it is regular lithium grease.

It is a special slip yoke grease with ptfe. Go to the dealer to pick some up. I did mine a couple months ago. I think it was about $5.
