Thats what the documentation says to use. I've never had to do this on a Ford.

Thanks for the quick response! I am on the laptop on the tailgate waiting for some input. I have a gear puller I may try to use. You normaly just knock it off with a hammer?
Thanks

i feel like iam doing something wrong. I pulled the shaft and removed the nut. Thats all I have to do right? Then the yoke should come off, right?

Yes, you only have to get the driveshaft and the retaining nut off, but keep in mind that they're put on with something around 400 lbs/ft of torque. I used a gear puller on mine... use the biggest one you got or you can find, they're not easy.
