(7) If the bearing cap will not pull out of the yoke
by hand after pressing, tap the yoke ear near the
bearing cap to dislodge the cap.
(8) To remove the opposite bearing cap, turn the
yoke over and straighten the cross in the open hole.
Then, carefully press the end of the cross until the
remaining bearing cap can be removed (Fig. 20).
CAUTION: If the cross or bearing cap are not
straight during installation, the bearing cap will
score the walls of the yoke bore and damage can
occur.
ASSEMBLY
(1) Apply extreme pressure (EP) N.L.G.I. Grade 1
or 2 grease to inside of yoke bores to aid in installa-
tion.
(2) Position the cross in the yoke with its lube fit-
ting, if equipped, pointing up (Fig. 21).
(3) Place a bearing cap over the trunnion and
align the cap with the yoke bore (Fig. 22). Keep the
needle bearings upright in the bearing assembly. A
needle bearing lying at the bottom of the cap will
prevent proper assembly.
(4) Press the bearing cap into the yoke bore
enough to install a snap ring.
(5) Install a snap ring.
(6)
Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 to install the opposite
bearing cap. If the joint is stiff or binding, strike the
yoke with a soft hammer to seat the needle bearings.
(7) Add grease to lube fitting, if equipped.
(8) Install the propeller shaft.
