flexable coupling steering shaft

[bobandjaneburden]

when I fit the replacement coupling it has a steel band round it, do I cut that off after fitting?.
regards bob.

Re: flexable coupling steering shaft

not sure what you mean.
Triumph or Marina?
Top flex on a Marina, or bottom UJ?

yes the band comes off AFTER fitting - dont do it before or you will never get it in place whatever the car or coupling - that's how its done

Re: flexable coupling steering shaft

Standard part for a Triumph 2000 / TR4 / TR6.

Some are sold without the band, it is a struggle to fit as the fixing centres of the coupling are nominally larger than the steering shaft ends.

The easy solution is to find a large, wide jubilee clip or two attached together, but it can be done with G clamps.
