Keep the lower yoke ear of the universal joint fitting inside a 30 mm (1 1/8 inch) socket. The Universal Joint Bearing Separator (J 9522-3) enables a user to shear the plastic retaining ring on the bearing cup so they can press the lower bearing cup out of the yoke ear.

Begin assembly by mounting a bearing cup onto one yoke side followed by cross position adjustment so trunnions free fit. Apply force to each bearing cup until it sits seamlessly against the yoke ear before proceeding with the opposite side while maintaining correct trunnion position. Perform further inspection on needle bearings when you encounter binding resistance. Press until the bearing retainer groove emerges from the yoke before installing the bearing retainer while you snap both retainers into position with a dead blow hammer to support the seating process. Chassis grease can be used optionally for the snap ring to help it settle correctly within the bearing cup groove.
