Well I eventually managed to remove the circlips using plenty of WD40, a chisel screwdriver and a pair of circlips pliers. Somewhat had it I think!<\/p>\n Replacing the new UJ is a reverse of the above, but you do need to be careful you don\u2019t dislodge the needle rollers, otherwise you won\u2019t be able to press home the bearing cups. Once you have one cup fully in refit the new circlip, then press home the second bearing cup. Making sure your marks are in alignment repeat the procedure for refitting the yoke back onto the prop. Arrows point to the centre dots I made to ensure everything went back how it came apart.<\/p>\n You can then repeat the procedure for the other end.

Remove the spider and detach the oil seal and seal retainer from each spider journal.<\/p>\n 3. To reassemble, fit new oil seals to the retainers and locate them on the shoulders of the spider journals with the oil seals outwards. Position the spider in the drive shaft yoke and assemble the needle rollers in each bearing cup. Pack the bearings with a multi-purpose lithium base grease, leaving an air space to allow for expansion of the grease when warm. Refit the bearings, tapping them squarely into place. Take care not to dislodge the needle rollers. 4. Similarly, refit the other half of the joint.<\/p>\n 5.

\nNote – You should wear eye protection as the circlips can ping off without any warning.
\nYou should also make marks on both the prop and the yoke so they go back exactly in the same position or you could upset the balance of the prop. The Haynes manual then shows a person holding the prop in mid air wacking it with a soft hammer and then hey presto it all comes apart.
\nMeanwhile back in the real world, you need a good strong vice or press, then using suitable sized tubes or impact sockets and WD40, you can press the old bearing cups out.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"\/images\/tech\/tech-prop03.jpg\")
