SKF has published an online video demonstrating how to inspect and replace a u-joint on a commercial truck. The video highlights using SKF u-joints to replace a rear driveshaft u-joint on a 2017 Freightliner Cascadia truck.
“We’re excited to offer this newly released video, giving technicians the opportunity to see a complete inspection and replacement of a u-joint on a heavy duty truck application,” says Brian Jungmann, marketing communications manager at SKF. “Through videos like this offered on our YouTube channel skfpartsinfo.tv, SKF is aiming to help fleet technicians deliver reliable performance and maximum service life, ultimately minimizing truck down time.”
SKF says the video provides technicians with the details needed to successfully inspect and replace a rear u-joint. It begins by outlining the tools needed followed by an overview of a detailed inspection. The video then provides step-by-step instructions for disassembly and reassembly.
