I've just finished rebuilding my rear axles (phew - what a job!). I put new u-joints on and the u-joints (from TRF) have a little grease nipple. Problem is, there isn't enough clearance between the n

There are all different kinds of zirk fittings available from your local auto parts guy. My U-Joints ('80 Spit) came with zirks of about 1-1/2" in length. During normal operation, I kept a set screw

I concur - I installed the same type U-joints on my 72 Spit when I rebuilt the half shafts last year. My U-joints actually came with the set screws already in place and the zerk extension plugs to us

Learned Listers, As I get my Spitfire closer to being roadworthy, I was wondering about the universal joints. The car was sitting in the PO's lawn for seven years, and while all the u-joints SEEM ok

Atwell, If you are in a position to do so, I would suggest removal of all 4 U-Joints. If they have set up several years, it's a good bet that they are at least dried up. If that is the case, They may

Here's a couple more cents on this topic. For my money, there is no better mechanical repair deal than the one I get from a drivetrain shop when they do my u-joints. I was there just this week, in fa

-- I've replaced the grease fittings on my U-joints with allen-hex Set Screws (Home Depot). They make it much easier to get out later, because the plug/screw is "stuck" on the end of the allen wrench

<snip> One thing about the BPNW u-joints. They are definitely not the same as the original ones on my TR6 were. I think OEM are Hardy Spicer which is apparently THE brand for u-joints. The ones I go

Yeah I thought the same thing at first.. but then why do the bearings in your trans for example use large balls instead of more small ones? (I don't know but just want to illustrate that perhaps the
