Replacing uj in hardy spicer

[Steve A]

Can anyone tell me once you have taken the clips out how you remove the uj out of the hardy spicer joint as i may be missing something but it seems impossible? regards Steve

Its been a long time since I did it...

But, clamp the yoke in a vice, use a suitably sized socket to drive the bearing cap out from the opposite side. ie drive one bearing cap into the yoke and that will force its opposite number out. Once you one side done invert and repeat process...
