jimbo Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 One of the UJs on my escorts prop shaft is knackered. The UJs are the currently staked type. Is if possible to remove them and replace with the circlip type? Or is it a trip to a machine shop? Cheers, Jim
jimbo Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Let me re-phrase that, because I know that the circlip and staked types are different sizes........ What I meant to ask was does anyone make an easy fit replacement UJ that would go in where I have removed a staked in type?

jimbo Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Cheers Shaun. Yep I've spotted them for sale on the bay. I'm still a bit clueless on what to do with replacment though.......Can I drill/gouge/pull out the old and then get the new ones pressed in? When u say loui. I take it you mean Mr Bagel
