Front axle u-joint servicing.

[Tinwoodsman]

I have been trying to find information in the TM's on servicing my front axle u-joints (see attachment). My hubs had some oil and water and I have serviced or replaced everything else but need to do the u-joints. Any pointers?

Im selling an axle set for a crawler project. He wants to know if the axle is a u-joint style. My question is are all m35a2 axles u-joint style or is there another type?

 

[Heavysteven]

I have the older ball type, some call them a bursik joint.

Arent these the type that you have to undo a snap-ring in the yoke and slide the one cap off to get the U-joint itself out? If thats the case, and theres no zerk, dont you have to use grease to hold all the bearings in the cap to re-install them? Im no U-joint expert, and have only done ones like that maybe twice before...I would just clean them, repack as much grease in them as possible, and re-install them.

My experience with u-joints is normally you end up destroying them trying to get them out. Unless you plan on replacing them I would just repack some grease the best you can

some of the u joints had grease fittings?? you cant get to them to grease them with the boot on... im confused. would it only be to grease them easily the rare time you have it apart? any pics of one with a grease fitting??
