Disassembly and Reassembly
6.
Flip the yoke 180°. Check the bearings for skewed or
dropped needle rollers. Place another bearing cup
assembly over trunnion diameter, and align it to the
yoke cross holes. Align the yoke in arbor press with
previously installed bearing cup assembly resting on
the base of the press. Place a push rod that is
smaller than the bearing cup assembly on top of the
bearing cup assembly. Press bearing cup assembly
into the yoke cross hole until a snap ring can be
installed.
7.
Remove the yoke from the arbor press. Install a snap
ring using snap ring pliers.
8.
Ensure snap rings are seated into the snap ring
grooves.
9.
Flex the journal cross to make sure it moves freely
by hand. Some resistance is acceptable. If it does
not move freely, tap the yoke ear as shown.

Reassembly - Bearing Plate Style
Please refer to the Universal Joint information in the Compo-
nent Safety section on page 2.
1.
Remove the cross and bearings from the box and
remove all four bearing assemblies. Rotate the cross
to inspect for the presence of a positive purging
valve in each grease hole of all four trunnions. Then
position the cross into the end yoke with its grease
fitting in line as near as possible with the slip spline
grease fitting. Keep the grease fitting on the inboard
side.
2.
Using a high quality N.L.G.I., grade 2 extreme pres-
sure (E.P.) grease, apply adequate grease to each
bearing cup assembly. Fill all the cavities between
the needle rollers, and also apply a liberal coating of
grease in the bottom of each bearing cup and on the
lip of the seal. Be careful not to get grease on the
outside machined surface of the bearing cup.
3.
Position one end of the cross to cause a trunnion to
project through the hole beyond the outer machined
face of the yoke lug.
