thanks in advance for any assistance provided to all. replacing the cardan joint (the spring loaded ball) and all the u joints on the original one when i broke a seat for the last u joint cap on the H yoke. Go figure...put all eight on and the last one broke. looked to the heavens and said out loud, "that's a good one God! You have a HUGE sense of humor when it comes to me!". So now I cant put the locking clip on the u joint cap. the cap is pressed but it is not clipped in and i am not going to take a chance that it vibrates out. got a new one on the way and that being said, is there a wrong way to put this on? is there an orientation (ie, this way goes front) for this thing because it sure did look identical and i was seconds away from being able to install this. with the new one i don't intend to break it again because it is not locally available if i do it again. one good thing from this, i dropped the transfer case and found the typical oil pump failure so that is on the way too as well as the seal/dust boot for that cardan cv ball. didnt like not being able to get that replaced with the installed one being so deteriorated but the spicer replacement also enroute. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
