Then press or tap ,I used the latter . Remember ,if tapping keep an eye on alignment of caps until flush ,then use a drift to pass circlip groove.. The caps go in easily enough, so not much effort is required to put them in.


Repeat for other side ,being careful with placement of cap over bearing surface of cross.

Place completed unit in driveshaft.



Insert caps as before and finish with circlips.

Good write up and pictures Bob. I note from your sandals that your attitude to health and safety whilst working on your motor car is exactly the same as is mine :-)
