Q: How to replace a universal joint on GMC Sierra 1500?
A:
When working on a Universal Joint start by holding the propeller shaft still in a horizontal position using one yoke clamp to prevent damage to the Slip Yoke sealing surface. Mild yoke tapping lets the Universal Joint retaining ring relax before pliers can fully uninstall it. By holding the propeller shaft and using help position it level in place then attach a socket that fits properly with the opposite side of j-9522-3 (U-Joint Bearing Separator). Use the j-9522-3 tool to take out universal bearings from yoke until it stops. Put j-9522-5 tool on the joint afterward and apply both tools through press to pull out stubborn bearings. Apply this step again to disassemble the remaining side of the propeller shaft. Since the Slip Yoke requires replacement at the same time we replace the Universal Joint. Suppress the Slip Yoke retaining ring and take out the yoke before you pull the universal bearing out of the yoke with the j-9522-3 and j-9522-5 tools. After you get the bearing out you can free the spider from the yoke. Use proper tools to wash both parts until they are completely clean. Install the universal bearings in the yoke on the propeller shaft until one Universal Joint spider seats before pressing it to match the surface of the yoke. Put on one retaining ring and do the same steps for the opposite bearing. Test if the Universal Joint moves without friction before gently striking the yoke. Place remaining universal bearings on the driveshaft then fasten them with electrical tape before final vehicle installation. Insert the universal spider into the Slip Yoke then put in the universal bearings and push them fully down until they fit securely. Drive bearings into each Slip Yoke at equal depth then put on the retaining rings. Repeat this process for the second bearing. Place the end of the propeller shaft inside the Slip Yoke while putting the universal spider inside its bearing and pushing it into place through the yoke. Set the retaining ring afterward. Keep rotating the propeller shaft while testing the movement of the Universal Joint through both bearings. Lightly tap the parts if needed to achieve a free movement.
Q: How to replace the universal joint with an external snap ring on GMC Yukon?
A:
Depress the propeller shaft level on a hydraulic press table with both transmissions and rear axle connections undamaged. Identify the places where the propeller shaft connects with transmission and rear axle. Use pliers to unlock snap rings but apply gentle hits to the end of the assembly if needed. Place j 9522-3 in the horizontal bearing cups and push the lower bearing cup out of the yoke ear using a 27 mm (1-1/16 in) socket when pressing the yoke ear which rests on a 30 mm (1-1/8 in) hex head socket. When the bearing cup remains stuck press j 9522-5 between the seal and cup until it leaves the assembly. Turn the propeller shaft to force out the opposite bearing cup so you can note its position for reassembly. Discard the cross piece and all the remaining Universal Joint components from the yoke while you extract the bearing cups from the Slip Yoke when replacing its Universal Joint unit. Check if the retaining ring grooves and bearing cup bores need cleansing or fix physical damage before beginning the process. Fit one bearing cup onto each side of the yoke by placing the yoke ear downward. Put the crosspiece into the bearing cup until the trunnion attaches properly and fit the bearing cup into the yoke until it touches both surfaces. Press the yoke ear bearing cup partially into place while making sure the trunnions enter both bearing cups directly. Test the trunnion movement when pressed between opposite cups. Reach inside to look at needle bearing condition if press tightness reduces trunnion movement. Press further until the bearing cup retainer slot shows then insert the retaining parts into both grooves before pressing them until all parts lock together. A light impact from a dead blow hammer may assist retaining the bearing retainer while chassis grease applied to the snap ring helps it seat correctly.
