Replacing UJs

<< < (2/3) > >>

hobbit:
It could be, I've heard of dual size uj's, but didn't think they would be fitted on these things though, like I say most of my work is with series ones and trucks, somebody know if this is so on the defenders?

Xtremeteam:
there is different types of joints but i dnt think the sizes are different,from what youve said it soinds like uve droped 1 of the rollers in the cup & as uve tryed to push the cups together its jammed it & uv probably just made the joint scrap :oops: its hard to explain by posting as ive done so many i can practically do it with my eyes shut although i still manage to knack the ocasional 1   :evil:

True, its best to slap as much grease in the rollers as poss to help hold them from falling over, its a balance of tapping a beingas careful as you can not to drop the needle bearings out

Bob696:
well after screwing up 1 UJ and probably another (good job paddocks have them on off at 4 for 3) I gave up and took the prop shaft to a garage (wimps are us, thats me)

Cheers for the help guys

only do that if youve taken the grease nipple out as otherwise it explodes if u squeeze it in the vice  :shock:  or doesnt go back together
