If you check a Triumph repair manual, the method of replacing the u-joint i=
s by holding the yoke in your hand and tapping the shaft with a soft mallet=
. Of course the retaining clips are removed. The caps should come out fai=
rly easily. The interference between the cap and yoke is minimal. I've us=
ed this method and was surprised of the ease. I'd always pressed or used a=
more aggressive process in the past. However, the yoke can wear and then =
the caps start to rotate, causing more wear. Then the yoke should be repla=
ced. It's a good idea to index the caps with paint or something, to monito=
r if they rotate. Then it's easy to check when your greasing the driveline=
and inspecting the u-joints. In any case, have your drive shaft checked b=
y an expert when in doubt.
