Subject: Re: [TR] Replacing u-joint: loose caps in yoke
=20
If you check a Triumph repair manual, the method of replacing the =
u-joint is 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 fairly easily. The interference between the cap and =
yoke is minimal. I've used 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 replaced. It's a good idea to index =
the caps with paint or something, to monitor 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 by an expert when =
in doubt.=20

Hi list,
=20
I=E2=80=99m replacing u-joints in the rear axles (TR4A). On one end I =
can slip two of the caps in by hand (one on the flange, one on the =
yoke).
=20
Anyone here think I could get by here with some Loctite or similar to =
hold the cap in place? Or am I looking for a replacement axle?
=20
This is not a track car, but I prioritize reliability.
=20
Thanks,
=20
Cliff
