Need help with u-joint replacement

Recommended Posts

I have a 1928 Studebaker Dictator, and the u-joint has a lot of "play" at the transmission. It appears to me that I need to remove the casing that covers the u-joint and yoke, 6 bolts that go through the emergency brake cylinder. After taking the 6 bolts out of the casing, I am at a loss as to how to remove it. You need to know that the casing is spliting and may be in at least two pieces. Does anyone know if the front u-joint can be removed from the front, without removing the drive shaft at the rear axle?? And, does anyone know how much "play" is normal when one turns the drive shaft from just behind the front u-joint????? I have an original parts book and a reproduction service manual, but not one word about servicing the u-joints. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
