Hi Listers,
anyone replaced U-joint on UrS4/6? Front CV-joint started to click and
I planned to do complete rebuild of the shaft, including center support
bearing and U-joint. I assumed that same U-joint as for type 44 can be
used (Neapco 1-0013). But after I took the shaft off the car and saw
that u-joint is held in the housing by .... I don't know technical term
for this, I gave up immediately as I was not prepared for this and I
did not have time to scratch my head. There was no groove for stop
ring like on type 44. The u-joint cap is held in place by what big
hummer and a punch can do to an edge of a bore.
My questions:
a) can the same the same U-joint as for type 44 be used as replacement?
b) I believe the same method as factory one should be used to fix a
u-joint.. What tool should be used to do that? Sorry, I have trouble
to describe the method of driving a piece of metal from the edge down
the bore to make a stop for u-joint cap.
Thank you.
