H.H. There is a trick to changing the gimbal bearing. Leave the snap ring and outer half alone. Turn the inner part 90 degrees and it slides right out. Slide the new inner half in and it is a done deal. The only thing after disturbing the bearing it has to be lined up with the splines on the engine or it is a bear to stab The drive back in.
CRAP !! I did not change the smiley again. Those things suck.
