2. Using a socket of the same diameter as the
bearing, press the bearing down far enough to
expose the snap ring groove. Install the snap ring
in the yoke ear, 1.
NOTE: A special snap ring is used to provide
clearance around the grease zerk.
3. Reposition the yoke and cross in the vise, and
use the socket to press the second bearing into
the yoke while rotating the cross to ensure it does
not bind up. Continue to press the bearing into
the yoke until the snap ring can be installed. It
may be necessary to push the bearing in as far
as possible with the vise, and then remove the
yoke assembly and strike the yoke ears with a
sharp blow from a hammer to spring the yoke
enough to install the snap ring.
