How to Remove the Universal Joint Cross?
1 Answers
To remove the universal joint cross, follow these steps: 1. First, remove the cover plate bolts, then take off the cover plate and the universal joint cross needle bearing housing. 2. After removing the lock rings of the other two needle bearing housings of the universal joint cross, support the two journals of the universal joint cross with your hands, and gently tap the edge of the universal joint yoke of the drive shaft or the telescopic sleeve with a hammer to push out the bearing housing with the universal joint cross. 3. During removal, avoid striking the edge of the bearing housing mounting hole or the bottom of the bearing housing. Assembly steps: 1. Clean all parts thoroughly. 2. Apply a small amount of grease inside the bearing housing and install the bearing needles. 3. Reinstall the needle bearing cover, felt, and washer onto the universal joint cross journals, then fit the universal joint cross into the universal joint yoke with the grease nipple facing the drive shaft, and install the bearing housing (aligning the groove with the screw hole). Ensure there is no jamming or looseness. Finally, secure the bolts with lock plates. After assembly, the tightness should allow free rotation without looseness. The fit clearance between the universal joint yoke hole and the bearing housing is 0-0.04mm. The bearing housing should not be stuck with the oil seal seat and unable to rotate. After passing inspection, apply grease again.
