The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Drive line 54 1/2 Ton, seal replacement

Michael,

In order to install new u-joint bell/ball seals, you have to disconnect the u-joint assembly and slide the yokes apart.

Here is the parts kit (you should use all new seals/gaskets):

Here is the gasket adjustment procedure (UNIVERSAL BALL JOINT ADJUSTMENT) in the Shop Manual.

I think my seals have been cork.
