Step
1: Place the main body of the U-Joint Tool over the yoke
and spin the main screw head down over the u-joint's bearing
cap.
|
Step
2: Using a 3/4" hexagonal socket and a 1/2"
drive ratchet, turn the bolt clockwise, so as you tighten
the bolt, the bolt presses down as the tool pulls up, thus
pushing the u-joint downward
|
|
|
Step
2 (cont.): Here you can see the u-joint starting to move
to the left. Push the u-joint as far as you can. In our case,
the bearing cap stuck out roughtly 3/8" or so.
|
Step
3: Once the bearing cap is sticking out, clean the grease
off of the bearing cap and use some emory cloth to rough the
cap up so it's easier to grab.
|
|
|
Step
4: Attach the collet by placing it over the exposed bearing
cap. The cap fits inside perfectly. Tighten the collet with
the supplied Allen wrench.
|
Step
5: Next, slide the main body onto the collet. The object
here is to remove the bearing cap from this end, so we need
to extract it.
|
|
|
Step
5 (cont.): Turn the ratchet counter-clockwise and the
collet will begin to pull the bearing cap out.
|
Step
5 (cont.): The cap will come off and stay in the collet.
You are now 1/2-way finished.
|
|
|
Step
6: Basically, we are now going to repeat the above steps.
Place the main body on the end sticking out.
|
Step
7: Crank the ratchet clockwise until the bearing cap protrudes
from the opposite end.
|
|
|
Step
8: Use the collet as in Steps 4 and 5 to remove the bearing
cap.
|
The u-joint
can now be easily removed from yoke. Voila! You're done!
