U joint how to.
Are the u joint trunion bearings supposed to be full floating ? I have two that are different in that respect , one the outer bearing on the housing sides are solid and don't turn, I have another which the bearing floats in the housing , I want to re build one which has a little slop in the spider ,what is the easiest way to remove the bearings and not destroy anything , I was thinking about forcing a wire under the locking wire clips to compress it into the bearing groove, Or is it easier to pull the locking wire out with a set of pliers where it can't be re used. I tried to buy another joint assembly and i was told they are on nation wide back order, the joints I am using are v 8 non riveted type.

Re: U joint how to.
Not sure exactly what you have, but the outer race does not turn in the joint. The cross turns inside of the outer race. Lincoln U-joints have needle bearings between the cross and outer cups. Where are you located?
