Insert the uj into the bevel box and in the words of Jason M twat it with a hammer.Use a placky or hide hammer though,this then should locate over springclip.Then have loads of fun mating it to the driveshaft,patience and lots of it is required.A helping pair of hands is a must too.

Agreed Mr Gus - muchus twaticus with rubberous hammerous and all will be fine - then ensure it's tight by dangling the bevel whilst holding the UJ. For future reference - the other UJ at the gearbox end is located and is to be twatted in a similar vein. Sometimes I twat it just for the sake of it, even though it's not been off for months..

Top tip for locating the shaft slidy in sections (if you didn't do a Mr Darth and mark everything up beforehand) is to do as suggested by Mr B - bung 2 wheel bolts in the bevel so as you can rotate the Uj.. offer it up... swear... rotate the UJ.. offer it up... swear [continue until throat sore from swearing]

Good luck

I still reckon you guys should do a Boxertrix specially-written edition of the Haynes manuals

I can see it now... 'insert UJ carefully into housing, then twat the f*ck out of it with the biggest f*ck-off mallet you've got laying around'.

Ahhh yes - my brother-in-law is a farmer and I've adopted his 'everything can be fixed either by levering it with a big buger off screwdriver or smacking the living daylights out of it with the biggest heaviest metal object within reach' attitude. Works every time
