Well I'm changing the u joints on this gos forsaken thing, and my issue is i can not for the life of me get the caps to fully seat and get the clips in. I'm using a actual press and everything. One side will fully seat how it needs to be but the other won't, won't go down last say 1/16th of a inch. I'm at my wits end over messing with this after getting the wrong part 3 times before getting the right one, plus the nightmare of getting old ones out, now this. I'm ready to scrap this thing and go find a steel driveshaft. Also I have checked the code, no misaligned needle bearings or debris either on both the hole for the cap and the inside of the cap and the joint itself.
So any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated.
 
i wonder if the ears got bent and now are messing up the install?
