[urq] Drive shaft center support bearing

[Patrick Carlier]

Don't forget that the drive shaft is balanced .
Remember to put markings on both halfs
to reassemble them in their original position .

The U joint is filled with needles , don't drop them when you take
it apart .
I didn't know , and the first one fell on the floor .
Took me half a day to find that one missing needle .

Apart from that , it's a pretty straigtforward job .
Take your time for it , try to avoid the use of a hammer
and you should be allright .

btw , does anyone know of a replacement for the dust caps inside the U joint
?
I had to clean mine and reuse them . Lucky they waren't damaged .

Patrick
