Bongo Fury

Had a similar thing with my Bongo, the rear prop actually broke up and fell to the side of the road.

I fitted a used one that I bought from Ebay.

Oddly enough some slow speed vibration has crept back in, only noticed it yesterday when returning from Isle of Wight.

I will have to get the back up and have a look I suppose.

I may buy another one as a spare, there is a place not far from me at work "Propshaft Services" they can replace the UJ.

Better safe than sorry eh.

Removed rear prop..and inspected.

There is no play and so something else.

Has anyone actually replaced the yokes and bearings on a staked shaft? If the cups are held in with staking, machining would be necessary to enable circlips to be fitted. We used staked bearings on aircraft and generally if the bearing was worn the component was thrown away.

You can buy a kit from part of,think mo prod and it includes the broach and staking kit that keep the caps in.used them on older fords

Yes you can purchase universal joints to replace the Staked Type, they use Snap Rings on the side of the cups.

No need for any machinery, you will need a large vice , a 2lb hammer, a file and a couple of punches.
