Trying to separate the slip yoke on a rear DC drive shaft to clean and inspect the splines. Anyone know how to remove this piece?
How to remove this part?

I don't think it can be removed or at least it was not meant to be removed. Tom Woods once told me to pump grease until you see clean grease spill out.
You are loving it to death . I’ve done that. Tinkered til I messed up stuff.

It should just unscrew so you can pull (if it's not frozen) the splines apart. You may have to persuade it with a hammer if the splines are stiff/frozen.
This one was tricky as there is not much information on the web. It has a sheet metal outer case and a rubber seal inside that when you press it onto the slip yoke, the rubber latches into the groove on the end of the yoke.
I believe this to be the Spicer part 211121X:

Anyways, I cut it off in order to make an educated decision on weather or not to rebuild this shaft. I'm glad I did the extra effort because the plastic on the splines was coming off on several.

Thats weird...I just had my factory Front shaft apart. There was NO plastic on the splines, just old grease.
Here is my front shaft apart. I believe it to be OE. I was expecting plastic and had plastic.
How was the fit on the splines on yours? Any play?

Both of my OEM shafts out of my 2006 TJ did not have that blue plastic, my current Tom Woods drive shafts both have them.
