Re: ball and trunnion conversion

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My B&Ts were good with bad boots.  Not wanting to disassemble them, I used the smaller of the two universal CV joint boots that O'Rilleys sells in there emergency parts isle.  Just cut the ends to fit, one side is just a little small and the other is just a little big, but strapped down they work perfect.  I clean every thing up well assemble the two piece boot and let it setup.  Then pack the joint with grease, strap both ends down.  The first one is about five years old and holding up well, and my other three are as well!  The only issue is, if it is, they are blue.

Neal,

 

Any driveshaft shop can make the coversion with off the shelf parts, I

have had two done.  I'm sure others can give more information.  As far

as the Ball and trunnion joint if it  is in good condition I would

service it and install a new boot.  If I had known boots and parts

were available I would not have coverted mine.
