The non-greaseable, Spicer type Double-Cardan CV was used for more years so it is much more common than the Saginaw version. The heart of this constant velocity joint is a hardened steel ball filled with tiny needle bearings is pressed in the flange yoke. The needles ride on the stud of the Ball Stud Tube Yoke. The u-joint cup diameter is 1-3/16". If the flange yoke casting is in good shape, and you have access to a blind hole bearing puller, you can replace the QU40704 Ball and Socket without replacing the flange yoke casting itself.
Spicer Type CV Joints have centering Balls with tiny needle bearings. The bearings ride on a machined stud that is part of the Ball Stud Tube Yoke welded to the driveshaft tubing. You can easily rebuild your CV joint yourself AS LONG AS THE STUD IS NOT WORN! The 1/2" diameter stud must be in good shape, not worn more than 0.002"-0.003", grooved, or pitted. A worn stud means you need to see a machine shop for cutting off the old yoke, plus welding and trueing the new QU40825 Ball Stud Tube Yoke. Once that is done, the shaft can be reassembled and then balanced as an assembly.
