Hey,

Started putting a new u joint into that yoke and shaft and ran into

a
proplem. I got one "cup" in but when I tried to put the opposite cup

in
it wont go on straight and I have a terrible time. I am afraid this
might mean the hole is out of round or something but not sure. Is

there
a way to get this in?

What is the best way to install a u joint?



A socket wrench socket and a big vise always worked for me. You're
probably starting it off crooked or not holding the yoke square. If
you don't get it in a few more tries, take it to an auto parts place
before the yoke bores get all mangled and they'll do it for you.
