Subject: Re: Quick U-joint question by joshwilson3 on 2011/8/25 19:59:12 Don't know how accurate this is. But I had read a write up on changing unjoints. And they mentioned after you press the joint in and put the C clip in. Take something like a blunt chisel and put in on the cross on the opposite side you pressed it. Then take a hammer and gently tap on the chisel which will tap on the ujoint in the opposite direction it was pressed. May take 3-4 taps. But check to make sure it is fully free. If not, tap again. When I did ujoints, I noticed the same thing. They were either stiff, or were stiff in certain places when I rotated the ujoint. Taping the ujoint in the opposite direction it was pressed loosened it up. They say when pressed on, it binds up the ujoint. But then again, putting the ujoint to use may also do the same thing and loosen it up some. |
