Good video, I just did this on the slip shaft in the front of my Bronco. On a new u-joint without a grease fitting how critical is it to put the bearing cups back on the same side they came from?

When I did mine I think I mixed them but not positive and I noticed afterward on the directions spicer says not to mix them? If the bearing cups are all thee same size what could it hurt on a brand new u-joint?

Anyone have tricks for replacing 1410 U-Joints? When I went to do this the caps are so long, they only press part of the way out of the yoke and I could not grab the caps and pull then out the rest of the way. they were also very tight in the yoke.
I got p***ed at them and just cut the trunion out with a plasma cutter, then pushed the caps through.

I always cut the trunnions loose i learned a long time ago not to bother fighting it.
