STEP A-21
Locate the two external-splined halfshafts, two metal u-joint balls, and the
u-joint assembly wrench.
BANDIT:
The Bandit halfshafts are shorter than the ones pictured; however, the
assembly process is identical.
STEP A-22
Begin by inserting one of the pins of the metal u-joint ball into the external-
splined halfshaft.
STEP A-23
Use the u-joint assembly wrench, as shown, to insert the opposite pin into
the halfshaft. Exert force down and to the left (as shown in the photo), in
order to spread both sides of the halfshaft equally by. Repeat for the
remaining external-splined halfshaft.
STEP A-24
Insert one of the remaining u-joint pins into the differential output yoke.
STEP A-25
Use the u-joint assembly wrench to insert the remaining pin into the
differential output yoke. Again, spread both sides of the differential output
yoke while pressing the pin into the hole.
Be careful not to spread the
output yoke too far, or breakage could result. Repeat the last two steps
for the other side.
