|
|
HELP I need to replace the rear universal joint the one at the rear axle end of prop shaft had a look bearings measure 29mm but there appears to be no circlips to hold the bearings in,
Wondering if it was a factory unit complete with prop shaft?
Any ideas where best to get replacement?

Unfortunately in this area Surrey, they just don't want to know,
Myself and a retired mechanic mate of mine decided to tackle it but puzzled by the fact that there appears to be .no circlips holding the bearings,

Hi . Dont know if you have sorted this but the prop joints all have inboard circlips. If you clean off the grease you will see the lip on the inside face of the swivelyoke. I used a pin punch to remove them ,then press out the swivel with a vice and a couple of sockets. Mark the prop before taking it apart to put it back and retain the balancing. _________________ Steve

Yes inside the yokes.
These clips often known as C clip not a Circlip (you dont actually use Circlip Pliers to remove/fit them (Although can work LoL)
Don't confuse with an E clip which also looks like a Circlip but kinda longer ends and internal only... LoL |
