Fig. 6 Installing bearings into driveshaft yoke
ASSEMBLY
1. If old parts are to be reassembled, pack bearing cups with universal joint grease. Do not fill cups completely or use excessive amounts as over
lubrication may damage seals during reassembly. Use new seals.
2. If new parts are being installed, check new bearings for adequate grease before assembling.
3. With the pusher (smaller) socket, press one bearing part way into drive shaft. Position spider into the partially installed bearing. Place second
bearing into drive shaft. Fasten drive shaft in vise so that bearings are in contact with faces of vise jaws. Some spiders are provided with locating
lugs which must face toward drive shaft when installed.
4. Press bearings all the way into position and install snap rings or retainer plates.
5. Install bearings in yoke in same manner. When installation is completed, check U-joint for binding or roughness. If free movement is impeded,
correct the condition before installation in vehicle.
