Old u-joint assembly and new u-joints
Checking the dimensions to make sure they are the right fit
Popping out the retaining clips
Pressing out the bearing cups
Pulling out the loose bearing cup
A total of eight bearing cups needed to be pressed out
This one I named ‘rusty’
The u-joints assembly fully disassembled
One of the old bearings had become cupped, so it is good that they are being replaced
Greasing the new bearings
Removing the bearing cups in order to assemble the new bearing into the yoke.
Re-assembly can usually be done with a C-clamp. I usually set the C-clip on the first bearing cup to make it through the yoke. Then the other side is pressed through to match.
Completed assembly
