Drive Shaft U-Joint Is Staked/Crimped In Place, Now What To Do?
While waiting for parts to replace the B2 Piston on my Transmission I decied to pull out the Drive Shaft and inspect the Support and Flex discs.
I found that the U-joint does not Flex smoothly through the full range of motion.
I have been advised that this is due to it wearing in one spot because it does not have to flex much.
When I looked for parts (another Russian EPC type site) I fond no U-joint listed as a part.
After cleaning the Joint more I found that the Bearing Caps are Staked in place instead of using a retaining clip.
Is there any one who has changed this U-Joint and if so where did you get the new U-Joint?
Red Arrows point to a few of the Stakes that retain the Bearing Caps.
