Outer Universal Joint

General
The outer universal joint transmits power from the intermediate to the outer drive shaft. The inner end of the outer shaft is bell-shaped with spherical tracks in which six balls transmit power from a hub. The intermediate drive shaft is splined to the hub and is secured axially by means of a circlip accessible through a recess in the hub. The hub, balls and outer shaft are matched and must not be interchanged. Greasing of the universal joint is necessary only after a universal joint has been overhauled or has been dismantled for any other reason.
