NOTE: The decision of whether to repair or
replace a universal joint is left to the technician.

from the universal joint to be repaired.
12.2. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, remove the
snap rings that retain the cups. See Figure 12.2.
12.3. In a universal joint press, push one cup in the
end yoke in as far as possible without coming
out of the bore in the yoke. See Figure 12.3.
12.4. Support the universal joint in a vise, and use a
soft hammer to drive the end yoke in the same
direction that the cup was pushed.
NOTE: This will cause the cross to force the
opposing cup partially out of the yoke.
12.5. Remove the cup. See Figure 12.5.
12.6. Remove the universal joint from the vise, turn
the universal joint over, and secure it in the vise.
