Hallo,
I have just changed the gimbal housing seal as well as the gimbal bearing on my Volvo DPS drive. I had to do this as the former owner had changed it and not positioned the gimbal bearing correctly so it could not be lubricated during the grease fitting on starboard side. Anyway my question is how deep the gimbal bearing shall be driven into the housing .... Anyone knowing the specification ? - say the distance from the bearing outer case to the collar of the gimbal housing... A drawing will be very much appreciated ;-)
It is not so much to drive the bearing into the housing to fit over the grease hole but the universal joint shaft has two O-rings and I guess these must fit inside the bearing why the position of the bearing has to be quite precise.
Thanks for a great forum.
