1. One bearing cup part way into one side of the yoke.
-
Turn the yoke ear towards the bottom.
2. Cross into the yoke so that the trunnion seats freely into the bearing cup.
-
With the trunnion seated in the bearing cup press the bearing cup into the yoke until it is flush with the yoke ear.
3. The opposite bearing cup part way into the yoke ear.
-
Make sure that the trunnions are started straight and true into bath bearing cups.
-
Press the opposite bearing cup into the yoke ear while working the cross all the time to check for free movement of the trunnions in the bearing
cups.
-
Press the bearing cup into the yoke until the bearing cup retainer groove is visible over the top of the a bearing cup.
IMPORTANT: If there seems to be a hang-up or binding, stop pressing, and check the needle bearings for misalignment in the bearing cup.
4. Bearing retainer in the retainer groove.
-
Continue to press until both retainers can be snapped into place.
-
If the retainer is difficult to seat, the yoke can be sprung slightly with a firm blow from a dead blow hammer.
-
It may be necessary to lubricate the snap ring with a slight amount of chassis grease so it seats in the bearing cup groove.
