INSTALLING THE UNIVERSAL JOINT

1. Install:
• universal joint driven yoke/cross joint 1
(into the universal joint drive yoke)
CAUTION:
Do not hammer the universal joint drive yoke
or the collapsible collar may be distorted. This
will result in a change in the standard spinning
torque, requiring replacement of the collapsi-
ble collar and reassembly of the middle driven
shaft assembly.
2. Install:
• bearings 2
(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 uni-
versal 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.
NOTE:
The bearings must be inserted far enough into the
universal joint driven yoke assembly so that cir-
clips 3 can be installed.
