How to service and repair the driveshaft universal joint on Ford Crown Victoria?

The next step before servicing the driveshaft universal joint starts with driveshaft removal without vise-clamping while setting it on a suitable workbench. Draw marks indicating how the driveshaft components should be placed in relation to the driveshaft tube for future balanced reinstallation. A C-Frame and Screw Installer/Remover tool removes snap rings before allowing bearing cups to be pressed out from the driveshaft through its necessary rotations. The use of vise grips is necessary to remove bearing cups when they resist complete press-out. Clean the yoke surfaces before proceeding to inspect all components for wear and damage when removing the driveshaft slip yoke along with centering socket yoke. Execute U-joint assembly by installing new bearing cups and spiders as complete assemblies which should be obtained from the U-joint service kits while pressing the bearing cups beneath the yoke surface. When the yellow snap rings fail to provide sufficient installation ease you can substitute them with black snap rings. Check the U-joint movement by hitting each yoke with a brass or plastic hammer during the inspection of both driveshaft sides. The bearing cups need to be placed 6.3 millimeters (0.25 inches) underneath the yoke surface when performing installations.
