Front Driveshaft Disassembly

I have the front driveshaft out of my 79 F150 and want to inspect the splines on the shaft. However I cannot figure out how the two halves of the driveshaft come apart. I have checked in the Haynes manual and it does not tell or show how it comes apart.

So my question is does this driveshaft come apart and if so How?

Front Driveshaft Disassembly

i THINK that at the end of the splines (on the side that slips over the other there is a cap that needs to be unscrewed. then it should just slip apart.be warned that that cap is usually extremely tight.

again i think thats how it is. its been a long time since ive paid attention to the splines on my shafts other than to grease them
