GMC Savana 3500 Universal Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to service and repair the universal joint using the J 9522-3 and J 9522-5 tools on GMC Savana 3500?
A: Make use of both J 9522-3 Universal Joint Bearing Separator and J 9522-5 Universal Joint Bearing Spacer Remover to repair the universal joint. Set the propeller shaft down horizontally in a press while making sure not to put the tubing in a tightening instrument that could harm it. Place dots on the shaft ends to show their correct alignment. Put the universal joint over the 30 mm (1 1/8 inch) socket with the lower yoke ear and press the bearing cup out from the yoke ear by using the J 9522-3 shear tool. Use the J 9522-5 tool when the bearing cup resists coming off by placing it between the seal and cup to push the bearing cup out. Rotate the propeller shaft until the bearing cup of the opposite side come out while noting the slip yoke alignment and removing the cross assembly and universal joint parts. Search for damage on the retaining ring grooves and bearing cup bores before you clean out any sheared plastic that blocks proper reassembly. Put a bearing cup into one yoke side then place the cross so trunnion operates well before pushing bearing cup to match yoke ear. Push the bearing cup into the unused yoke half while making sure trunnions rest properly. Press down while aligning the bearing retainer groove to the yoke before installing both bearing retainers until their snaps lock in place. When needed apply a dead blow hammer to push the retainer in position. Adding chassis grease to the snap ring will help with the insertion process.
