nal cross is started into bearings and continue
pressure with vise, squeezing in as far as possible.

smaller than the cup) on cup and rap with a ham-
mer. See Figure 27. Install snap ring and repeat on
opposite cup
4. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to install remaining cups
in remaining yoke.
5. Move both yokes in all directions to check for free
movement. If movement is restricted, rap on yokes
sharply with a hammer to relieve any tension.
Repeat until both yokes move in all directions with-
out restriction.
