RAM TRX FLANGE YOKE SWAP Instructions
1. Remove the Flanges from OEM Shaft
• Locate the retaining clips that hold the U-joint in place. These are usually located inside the yoke or on the U-joint caps.
• Use needle nose pliers to remove the retaining clips. Be careful, as they can sometimes be difficult to remove.
• If the U-joint is rusted or difficult to remove, use a hammer and a screwdriver or pry bar to gently tap the U-joint out of the yoke.
2. Press Out the U-Joint:
• Use a U-joint press or a C-clamp to press out the U-joint from the driveshaft flange yoke. Place the press on one side of the U-joint and press the cap out of the yoke. ***Be careful not to press the flange "ears" and bend them inwards. This will prevent you from being able to install onto new drive shaft properly.
• Once one cap is removed, repeat the process for the other side.
3. Clean the Flange Yokes:
• Clean the inside of the yoke to remove any debris, rust, or old grease. This will ensure a smooth fit for the new U-joint.
4. Install the Flanges onto the New Driveshaft U-Joints:
• Position the new U-joint in the flange yoke and insert the new bearing caps into the U-joint ends.
• Use the U-joint press or C-clamp to carefully press the new bearing caps into place. Make sure the caps are fully seated and the U-joint moves freely.
5. Install New Retaining Clips:
• Install the new retaining clips that came with the new U-joint. Ensure they are properly seated in the grooves of the bearing caps. If not properly seated in the grooves this will cause vibrations in the driveline. Make sure the u-joint is centered in the flange and caps in all the way.
