The knurled collar is snug to the point if I twist it by hand the whole unit twists.
Was hoping for a miracle regarding the u-joint. I know that when I put the Okie assembly in I had removed the shaft and dismantled the u-joint but was wondering if it was for some other reason. My concern is the small head bolts that hold the u-joint together. Is there a replacement for them? I know small head cap screws would work but there is no means to keep them from twisting out.
Maybe I will give that collar a slight turn using a pipe wrench but am awae of damaging the o-ring. Mine was rubber not cork.
