Everyone's parts lists (including NAPA) shows only a replacement for the center, diaphram mounted bearing. The front and rear bearings are staked at the factory and are reported NOT AVAILABLE in everybodies parts lists. Have any of you good folks encountered this problem and if so, what was your work-around (like in P/N's) Thanks in advance, Ed in 'ole Virginny" **** UP-DATE **** Anyone with staked U-joints can procure a snap ring conversion joint from CVO in Florida. Their site id www.cvaxles.com . Their site includes CV joint components and drive line pieces for ATV's as well !!! Thanks for the replies, Ed in 'ole Virginny [Reply]  [No Email]

Just got off the phone with a great guy named Kevin at CVO. $25 for a conversion ujoint x 2 = $50 versus $400+ for a new driveline. Wow!!! What a great christmas present. He did caution me to inspect the trunion to yoke wear before ordering. If the yoke is worn to the point where a new ujoint cap wont fit properly you have to replace the driveshaft assembly. Also be careful when you torch out the old ujoint. You dont want to distort the yolk. I am going to try this out and will be posting the results when I have completed the project. Thanx again for a great tip Ed. Merry christmas to all.   [Reply]  [No Email]
