Position C-frame around driveshaft yoke, and tighten forcing screw until first bearing is removed. 3. Position C-frame on second bearing, and tighten forcing screw until second bearing is removed. Assembly 1. Clean dirt and oil from yoke area. 2. Align C-frame and new bearing as straight as possible over yoke. 3. Press new bearing into yoke, and install lock rings. 4.
