Dean Speer Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Can any one assist. Changing UJ on Herald drive shaft. Fitted the new one from the Club shop; plenty of swearing and the normal fun!. When mounted on the car with the suspension hanging the hub wont rotate fully. The "flange" on the spier that accepts the grease nibble seems to foul on the yoke. Is there a right or wrong way around? Mine is on the Diff side. With the suspension back under load the car rolls fine but worried it might foul if passing over a larger hump in the road!

Pete Lewis Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 yes you need to reverse it , the thick part where the greaser goes should be outboard does it have the greaser fitted??? if its fouling you normally remove the greaser and fit a blanking grub screw,, there used to be a label on the shop shelve to remind dont forget the grub screw Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Speer Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi Pete thanks I thought that might be the case! B*****r! I have taken out the grease nipple and fitted the blanking plug they supplied. Perhaps they could add a lable to say fit it that was around; the good old Haynes bible has no clues in it. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Your thread title reminds me of one of my cars, which was advertised as a Trumiph Herlad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Yes Herlad was a very limited edition I think Writer should be able to edit the title, if never tried so thats a guess. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I used it as an eBay name - TrumiphHerlad - as many people never even notice the misspelling... Apologies to Dean for drifting the thread but I think he's sorted the problem anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Speer Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Herlad duly corrected. Now to skin a few more knuckles swapping it around to get this one back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Strange one this! I have just rebuilt both sides of my Spitfire MkIII and in both cases fitted GKN 18050 UJs. I had to change the UJ so that the grease nipple aperture was on the inside, towards the differential as otherwise it would not 'tilt back' on 1 quarter. All is now OK and working properly.
