Simple driveshaft question
In the rear driveshaft, the ribbed section goes into another portion that's attached to the T-Case, that's a slip-yoke right? Does the ribbed section pull completely out of the other?
If so, mine is stuck.. I'm almost sure it's a slip yoke that pulls all the way out but I'd feel like a moron if I broke it trying to seperate it.
edit: and are there any rubber seals or anything inside this section? I wanna spray it down with oven cleaner to break down some of the concrete-like mud that has built up, but it will eat through rubber.

Some slip yokes - maybe yours - have a seal on the female end that you must unscrew before they will come apart.It is sort of a metal shell threaded on the outside of the end. Again, not sure if this is so for your aplication.

there was just a small hole at the other end, it had squeezed out a ton of grease through it before I removed my driveshaft.
Got the yoke off with a bit of hammering with a rubber mallet. It should slip pretty easy? I'll clean it inside and out, grease it and put it back together.
thanks

As fastfarmer mentioned, there is a seal on the female yoke. There should be no threaded cap keeping it together. It does take a bit of force to get it past the seal, but it should slide pretty easily once its through to the splines.
