I have my driveshaft out to replace the u joints. While I was working the slip joint separated. I figured while it’s apart I would regrease it for good measure. I got the ptfe xg8 and thoroughly cleaned the splines both the id and od. I applied a liberal amount of grease to the id and od. Now the pieces will not mate. I believe the yoke should slide easily? It seemed to come out that way. Anyone have experience with this? What am I doing wrong? I don’t think I should have to pound it back together. Thanks for any help.
