Just done the UJs on my 3000. Mostly straightforward. But, and it just =
an
observation:-
1. Of the two UJs, one had a grease nipple and the other was a
pre-greased, sealed, unit. It was dried up and not in good shape. The =
other
one, into which I had pumped grease at regular intervals, seemed 100% =
OK.
2. Of the two UJs, one had very beefy circlips of the type that one
removes with circlip pliers. Despite my having the correct circlip tool
those circlips were an absolute nightmare to extract. The others, per =
the
manual, extracted with a screwdriver, were a doddle. 10 seconds each by =
the
time I=92d worked it out.
I suppose that I=92m suggesting UJs with nipples and decent circlips.
=20
I marked my propshaft so as to be sure to line up the two halves =
properly
when I reassembled. When I cleaned it up, I noticed that the arrows were
almost 180=B0 out of alignment. God knows why. I took it off years ago =
but
didn=92t disassemble it that time. I=92ve lined up the arrows and will =
see what
goes on when the car=92s back on the road.=20
