Winesap7 Posted September 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2009 I need to replace the front u-joint, mine is a trike so I have two. After reading the tech talk it sounds like after removing the driveshaft you then remove the entire u-joint yoke from the bike, is that correct? Looks like the front part of the yoke is bolted to a transmission output shaft, do you remove that shaft and if so how? I also read that there may be other U-joints that will work as well as the OEM, any thoughts? As ususal all the advice is good and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have replaceable u-joints. The B210 was a car and the u-joints were not replaceable; you had to buy a driveshaft if a u-joint went out.

BigBoyinMS Posted September 30, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2009 I just remembered that the Venturers tech section had this interchange... Venture U-joint Cross Reference Manufacturer Part Number AEC 1064 Falcon U392 GMB 220-0028 Neapco 1-0028 Perfect Circle 1500 Precision 392 Rockford K1500 Spicer 5-1500X TRW 20128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no real easy way to pull the middle gear pinion assy out, to change the U joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted October 1, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 1, 2009 The middle gear output shaft removal is a fairly straight forward procedure. Remove the driveshaft and swingarm, remove the rubber boot and the side plate above the middle gear cover. Loosen the 2 engine case bolts at the output shaft, then remove the 3 bolts holding the output shaft. Watch how the shims come out from behind the flange, and replace them the same way. Of course, you have the mufflers, side covers, rear pegs and holders and shock link to disconnect/remove. That's the fun part. Be a good weekend job, could also grease up the shock link bushings while you're in there. Man, I could come up with a whole list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
