INSTALLING THE UNIVERSAL JOINT
4. Install:
universal joint driven yoke / cross joint
1
(into the universal joint drive yoke)
Do not hammer the universal joint drive
yoke or the collapsible collar may be dis-
torted. This will result in a change in the
standard spinning torque, requiring re-
placement of the collapsible collar and reas-
sembly of the middle driven shaft assembly.
2. Install:
bearings 2
(onto the universal joint driven yoke / cross
joint)
The needles can easily fall out of their races,
so check each bearing carefully. Slide the
universal joint driven yoke assembly back
and forth on the bearings. If a needle is out of
place, the yoke will not go all the way onto
the bearings.
3. Press each bearing into the universal joint
driven yoke assembly with a socket of the
proper size.
The bearings must be inserted far enough into
the universal joint driven yoke assembly so that
circlips
3 can be installed.
