Install two bearing caps in one procedure on virtually all medium and light-duty u-joints
An encased magnet is utilized for installation, retaining the new bearing cap in place over the yoke assembly opposite the forcing screw. Once this assembly is secured, a second bearing cap is positioned for installation by means of the plunger found at the end of the forcing screw.
An impact or hand wrench is applied to the forcing screw, securing the first bearing cap in place and allowing installation of the first retaining clip. The u-joint is then rotated and the process repeated, effectively installing both bearing caps.
