is ‘spinning’ on the yoke. Took the collars off, and the cup is not seized, turns freely, bolts were tight. What causes this, and what is the cure? Replace the u-joint? ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

with the collar bolted on, the "HOLE" is a couple thousands bigger than the CAP , so the cap can rotate / move.... PEEN means to take a center punch and make several DIMPLES inside the "HOLE" so that the metal will extrude out a few thousands, and then COMPRESS when you reinstall the collar and bolt solid.... You can also make sure the collar has no burrs .. or take a couple thousands off the mating FACE around the bolt hole so you get more COMPRESSION on the cap when tightened. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Would depend what type of cap it is and what holds it in place , if it's full press in round hole in yoke it would depend on use as one could use a locktite compound to hold cap of not to worn - on a PTO shaft on one dump truck pump cap was lose and for a temp fix transmission shop didn't have the yoke in stock so they places 2 small tack welds onto cap to yoke surfaces - been running for 10 years now as a temp fix .
Notices you said bolts were used to secure the cap to the yoke - so if the STRAP type hold down then the strap is stretched and needs to be replaces . A new strap should solve the tension required - or you could shim under the strap . or on yoke side / or replace the yoke itself . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

Take the strap that holds it on. take a few thou off that that where the bolts go thru and put back in place. Torque to spec - it was 125 ft/lbs on my dump truck. And problem fixed. All the shops will tell you to put a new strap kit on but it will spin again in a few days. When you take a bit of material off the end of strap it tightens everything up a bit more. I just used a high speed air tool and those little cookies to take a bit off the strap.  Off the bottom of strap.

Take a bit off the bottom. Few thou. Lets it tighten a bit more on the cap and keep it from spinning. If this is the design you are referring to. This is referred to as 1/2 round u-joint. If you shim under strap you will have no tension on cap. Will come apart real fast.

| Can also remove a few thou from the yoke ears, clamps then lose no stress value. |

| Lars tighten straps to 125 ft/lbs. You can see it on the strap there. They show the range as 115-135. 12 pt 1/2 socket. |

The one cup that spins is held with a strap. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

| Yes the ones that spin are always held with strap. Not the best design. Do as I have explained and you will not have any further problems. If you have spare time do all that are held with a strap the same way. Don't wait for them to start spinning. |
