Quick Disconnect™ (Half Round) Universal Joints

1.

If any of the bearing assemblies fail to purge removal
of the driveshaft is necessary. See the original-
equipment manufacturer for proper driveshaft
removal procedures.

2.

Place the driveshaft in v-blocks and apply a C-clamp
across the half round bearings. Apply grease gun
pressure. Completely purge both bearings.

3.

If outboard bearings fail to purge, slightly loosen C-
clamp and reapply grease gun pressure until both
half round bearings purge.

4.

After all four bearings purge fresh grease, re-tighten
the C-clamp to squeeze out excess grease and wipe
clean. This will ease installation of universal joint kit
back into yoke. Install universal joint kit in the yoke
using new straps and bolts, and torque bolts to the
required specifications. Reference bolt torque speci-
fications in the above table.

5.

If the bearings still will not purge, complete removal
of the universal joint kit is needed to determine the
cause of blockage. Refer to original-equipment man-
ufacturer's service manual for removal procedures.
