Another high quality video Jeff, thanks for all the effort you put into these. The prop shaft on ours was completely shagged and I ended up having a new one custom built (new one has grease nipples on the UJs for long term maintenance. Good to see one being fully refurbished though, you’ve done a cracking job there
Good afternoon! At the same time, the gimbal rotates smoothly. It seems to me that you failed to put everything exactly as it should be. One of the washers sticks out above the others. This means that one roller has fallen down. In this state, he will walk for some time. We also put 50-60 washers t.km .
That’s just what I did Jeff with the ujs with the washers. I never cut the old ones out just ground out the staking and pressed them out. However just watching your well made vid. Could you not have on each yoke have kept one of the staking meaning needing only one weld. That is pressing one of the cups in from inside to out as opposed to both from outside to in. I didn’t do that but having watched your video I think that may have been possible. Obviously only if was centralised when done. Good video for us T1 owners though. Can’t wait for the king pin replacement vid. Lol
Hi Gerry, I watched quite a few videos on youtube, in fact I watch a lot of them, with regards to these stakes UJ's. But I just found it easier to just clean and tidy up the yokes the way I did it, and pressing in all four caps from the outside.... Which is not difficult when pushing / tapping the caps in place.... You just dont want to rush the process as you know, with regards to the rolled bearing coming loose or moving.... As for the washers, I could have done 4 x tiny small spot welds on each cap, but decided to just do the 2 x welds instead, which worked out good with no issues. But I have to say, there's no vibration at all when out on the road, well pleased with the finnished results. As for other video's, I just do them as and when something goes or starts to fail on my rig or if I have nothing better to do, i'll just pick something to work on. Cheers Jeff
Excellent Jeff
