tools needed.
2x 14mm spanners
1x big fuck off hammer
a couple of sockets to use as a drift. borrowed sockets are best. :wink:
a longish drift. 3/8 socket extension will do.
internal c-clip pliers.
small length of pipe with a ID larger then the uni caps
large vise.


pull the tail shaft out of car and stick it in a vise like this. remove c-clips, stick the
pipe over the uni cap and flog the piss out of it

Image

when the cap sticks up a bit flip it over and flog the opposite cap.

Image

keep flogging opposite caps until one pops off.

Image

then put the pins in the vise and with out hitting the caps bash the yoke
down until the uni falls out.

Image

ready for reassembly

Image

will finish after smoko.

note to self: :helloo:

never loan tools to Shep :roll:

Actually- thinking about it- my sockets/ extensions etc would probably last longer if left to Sheps tender mercies :oops:

remove 2 caps from new uni and insert into yoke

Image

stick uni into cap and then tap the yoke onto the cap. stop often and make sure that
none of the rollers have dropped out

Image

tap the second cap into the yoke making sure it still moves smoothly.

Image

tap the caps in past the c-clip groove with a socket on the bottom.

Image

remove the last two caps and stick one in the other yoke and gently tap it home
remembering to check that the uni moves smoothly and isn't binding.

Image

tap the second cap on.

Image

stick the socket under the cap and tap it past the c-clip groove.

Image

camera died so no more photos

stick the c-clips in there home and tap the caps into the right position

when the uni is assembled ensure that it moves smoothly and freely, if not then
rest the yoke on a vice and tap with a hammer.

refit tailshaft and do burnouts. :wink:

There is an even easyer way than using a drift to belt the caps out. I will post later on tonight.

Yep, cut a 25mm long length of the large pipe. Place yoke in vice with large ID pipe on one side and socket (smaller the 24mm OD) pressing up against Uni on opposite side. Slowly tighten vice and Uni Cap will be pressed out. Undo vice and flip yoke over to do other cap, but make sure that socket used this time is smaller than bearing surface of uni, or else you will press socket permanently onto Uni.

Or use a big fuck off copper hammer and belt it a few times and it's out. :wink:

I can do a uni twice as fast with the hammer as can be done with a vise or press

He is,

How is using a copper hammer rough?

Works fine if you know what you are doing.

You have more chance of doing damage with a press or a vise.
