Assembly

1. To assemble the double Cardan joints, position the spider in the driveshaft yoke. Make sure the spider bosses (or lubrication plugs on kits) will be in the same position as originally installed. Press in the bearing using U-Joint Tool, T74P-4635-C or equivalent. Install the snap rings.

2. Pack the socket relief and the ball with the Long- Life Lubricant, C1AZ-19590-BA (ESA-M1C75-B) or equivalent, then position the center yoke over the spider ends and press in the bearing. Install the snap rings.

3. Install a new seal on the centering ball stud. Position the centering socket yoke on the stud.

4. Place the front spider in the center yoke. Make sure the spider bosses are properly positioned.

5. With the spider loosely positioned on center stop, proceed to seat the first pair of bearings into the centering socket yoke, then press the second pair into the centering yoke. Install the snap rings.

6. Apply pressure on the centering socket yoke and install the remaining bearing cup.
