MEASURING U—JOINT KITS
MEASURING U-JOINT KITS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE
1. Remove the bearing caps.
2. Remove excess grease from the bottom of the bearing caps and trun-
nions.
3. Remove the seals from the bearing caps or trunnion to ensure accurate
measurements when parts are compressed.
4. Measure as shown, using tolerance of + .005”/-.005” for dimensions
“F” and “E”, and a tolerance of +.003”/-.003” for all others.
OUTSIDE SNAP RING STYLE
A) Measure dimension “F” (Figure 1) and write it down.
B) Measure dimension “D” (Figure 1) and write it down.
C) Is there a lube fitting? Is it in the cross or the cap?
D) If more information is needed, measure dimensions “A” and “B” (Figure
2). These dimensions may vary between manufacturers.
E) Refer to the pages showing Outside Snap Ring Kits.
INSIDE SNAP RING STYLE
A) Measure dimension “E” (Figure 3) and write it down. Be sure to include
the thickness of the snap rings. The following method should be help-
ful.
1) Measure from the inner edge of the snap ring groove to the inner
edge of the other as shown by dimension “X”. (Figure 4)
2) Measure the thickness of one snap ring (Dim “Y”). Dimension “E”
then equals “X” + 2 (“Y”). (Figure 4)
B) Measure dimension “D” (Figure 3) and write it down.
C) Is there a lube fitting? Is it in the cross or the cap?
D) If more information is needed, measure dimensions “A” and “B” (Figure
2). These dimensions vary between manufacturers.
E) Refer to the pages showing Inside Snap Ring Kits.
