Renewing the UJ's

here's how ah did it.....

First ah undid and took off the propshaft.....



(in the piccy above ah used a 14mm spanner on this particular nut, be aware that they're mostly 9/16" )



then took off the circlips on top of the cups.....



then usin' an old socket and a hammer, ah knocked the uj down until the bottom cup fell through and there was enough room to get the top cup out....






and did the same again to finaly remove the uj (sat it on a bigger socket to stop it bouncin' around when ah was hittin' it)....



the old and the new uj's....



Refittig..
took the cups off and the seals, packed the cups with grease to stop the needle rollers from falling over and then pushed a cup into the yoke...





then ah put the seals onto the uj and pushed it into the cup (being very carefull not to knock any needle roller over)....

then ah stuck the other cap on and using a vice and a nut, ah pushed the cups home (again being very carefull not to knock the rollers over)....





(when you get one side pushed in far enough, stick the circlip in and then push the other side in and stick a circlip in that as well )



Then ah did the same again to finish fittin' the uj to the shaft....



Ah wiped off the grease that was pushed out of the cups....



fitted the grease nipple and gave it a squirt with more grease.....



did the same to the other end....



and then ah topped up the shaft while ah was there....



refitted the propshaft and that's about it, job done
