4. Install:
• universal joint driven yoke/cross joint
(into the universal joint drive yoke)
CAUTION:
@
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
replacement of the collapsible collar and
reassembly of the middle driven shaft
assembly.

• bearings
(onto the universal joint driven yoke/cross joint)
CAUTION:
@
The needles can easily fall out of their
races, so check each bearing carefully.
Slide the universal joint driven yoke assem-
bly back and forth on the bearings. If a nee-
dle is out of place, the yoke will not go all
the way onto the bearings.
@
6. Press each bearing into the universal joint
driven yoke assembly with a socket of the
proper size.
NOTE:
@
The bearings must be inserted far enough into
the universal joint driven yoke assembly so
that circlips can be installed.
