- I just replaced the U-joints on the TD. The new Hardy Spicer HS194 unit has a long grease zirk that severely limits the drive shaft angle in one direction on the front yoke. At about 7 degrees the zi

- When you assembled the new U-J into the driveshaft, were you careful to note that one "corner" of one half of the yoke has a relief ground into it? This is where the long zerk is supposed to be posi

- Zerk fittings come in a number of different sizes. If you can undo the one that is in the Ujoint, take it on down to Napa and get one that will fit better. That's got to be easier than reversing the

- Well, as a matter of fact (blush), I put one in backwards once, grrrr. Since it was my car I just put in a short Zerk fitting. Made it harder to get the grease gun on it but I was afraid the long one

- I thought I would point out that on a B, at least, there is a subtle cutaway on one side of the yoke to clear the zerk fitting. I think there are 3 ways to assemble it incorrectly, and one correct al

- You can also get a fitting for the grease gun that pokes itself inside the zerk, thus getting around this problem.... /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team

- Hi Paul: Actually I did try the short nipple from the old unit, but I found that it was so close to the fork ear, that I couldn't get my grease gun on it. I took the new U-joints with the long nipple
