before disassembling the universal joints, put the marks to make sure the shaft will be assembled to manufacturers specs. start by removing snap rings , circlips. once those were out of the way, the cups came off surprisingly easily.
when the dissassembly was completed, clean up all the old grease so we could inspect the joints properly. we noticed that more than half the rollers were broken and another quarter were missing. the reason why we were not getting a smooth joint operation . after regreasing the internals and assembling the entire thing back.
