This morning I switched gears and worked on another project that I had put aside. A couple of weeks back I had bought conversion U joints to mate the larger 14 bolt drive shaft to the 10 bolt yoke.
I have never had problems pressing in U joints with a socket and hammer, until now. It fought me till I broke one of the needle bearings and the cap seized half way in.
I finally had time to take it to the driveline shop and get the pros to install them. Crisis resolved and driveshaft is now in place.
The housing was filled with premium gear oil and the project was done.
