heat up the yoke area around the cap untill plastic is all squeazed out . you DO NOT have to make the whole thing glow orange . also watch your self wear safty glasses . the plastic can POP .

let the whole shaft cool down .

service the u-joint like normal .

remove the old plastic from the yoke when the cap is removed .

take a flat file and clean the snap ring seat area from any rust and junk over the years .

install new joint and clips that come with it .

before install hold the caps on the axle end and wack the yoke each side with a hammer to free up tension from cap install . flex the joint before and after . you will feel a difference . wack the other end yoke areas for the caps also .

then grease before install and install the shaft .

also tip make sure the grease fittings are in line for easy service and i like them to point to the center of the shaft also .

if non greaseable then skip last tip .
