yoke from outside and press in with hand pressure
as far as possible. Insert journal cross into bearing
cup with grease fitting away from shaft. Be careful
not to disturb needle bearings. Insert another bear-
ing cup directly across from first cup and press in as
far as possible with hand pressure.

journal cross is started into bearings and continue
pressure with vise, squeezing in as far as possible.
Tapping the yoke will help.

Seat cups by placing a drift or socket (slightly small-
er than the cup) on cup and rap with a hammer. See
Figure 28. Install snap ring and repeat on opposite
cup.

Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to install remaining cups
in remaining yoke.
5.
Move both yokes in all directions to check for free
movement. If movement is restricted, rap on yokes

Repeat until both yokes move in all directions with-
out restriction.
