I use a Dremel Moto Tool and a pointed grinding bit to make small
indentations on many parts that do better when put back together the
same way. Very little metal is removed so there is no balance problem.
Then I use a "touchup stick" from FLAPS and put a drop of paint in the
indents. The indents will always be there even if the paint is gone.

Purists may not like this suggestion, but what I normally do before
taking any driveline apart is to use a spray paint can and make a line
down the joint from one shaft to the other. If one side has an orange
stripe and the other does not, it is difficult to put it together
backwards.

I haven't done it either (but need to). The only thing I can add is to
ensure the front and back parts of the shaft go back together in
exactly the
same splines as originally assembled or you'll have an imbalance
problem.
So marl them unless there is an indexing mark already there. And for
all I
know this may not apply to a 140.
