bx2200 front wheel drive u-joint

[dggott]

Hey all-

The front U-joint went out on the front wheel drive of the bx2200. I assume it's an easy fix, since it seems to be pinned on rather than pressed. Am I right? Do I need to replace the rear one as well while I'm at it?

Thanks

I would take it out and inspect it, if it's worn, rough turning or excessively stiff, I would replace it.

Out of curiosity, how do you service these? Do you clean them and re-grease or is there something else?

If you're asking how I service them, I don't. But we just bought it last summer. I look at the manual to see what it needs every once in awhile. But I think these are sealed- saw no zerks.

I Know I have to replace the front one. My question is, is it as easy s it looks? My second question is do I need to replace the rear while I'm at it.
