Rear UJ

Could some one tell me if the rear prop shaft UJ easy to change, would a new one need pressed in ?

yes.

make allignment marks on the yoke and diff nose/handbrake drum. (tip-ex is good) drop the prop off. circlips off. mark the position of the grease nipple. drift the UJ out of the prop from one side, then drift the UJ out of the yoke. take the cups off the new UJ position in the propshaft. press the cups/UJ in using a good vice. then press the side in with the yoke. make sure the grease nipple lines up right. check all is smooth. replace circlips. put the prop back on... the right way with allignment marks.

Thanks for the prompt reply and useful tips.

Make sure you keep them greased up as well

Prevention is better than cure

When I have finished putting in all the effort in getting this SIII back on the road it will be regularly serviced after that, as looking at the state it is in now it has not been serviced for years which is all adding up as extra expense and time for me.
