UNIVERSAL JOINT REPLACEMENT (Sheet 4.1 of 7)
4. Check staking of pin (C). Stake marks should
be on flange (D) and overlapping pin (C) on
four sides.
5. If not staked properly, use fabricated center
punch and stake pin (C) four places, equally
spaced on flange (D). If chamfer on flange
(D) is so large that metal does not
mushroom over pin (C) when staked, replace
quick-disconnect clamp (A).
6. Inspect quick-disconnect clamp (A) for cracks,
breaks, or sprung hinge. If damaged, replace
quick-disconnect clamp (A).
7. Close quick-disconnect clamp (A) and install ,
screw (E) finger tight.
8. Using thickness gage, check clearance
between flange (F) and flange (D). Clearance
must be 0.000 to 0.005 inch. If more than
0.005 inch, proceed to step 9. If clearance is
within tolerance, go to sheet 4.2.
9. Using oxy-acetylene welding equipment,
brazing alloy and welding flux, braze a bead
(G) across top of flange (F).
10. Using file, file bead (G) down until metal to
metal contact exists between flange (F) and
flange (D).
