[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 9478, member: 82"] Thats a pretty pricy fan... but i figured it would be pricy. Yeah, they do call the U-joints spiders in the manuals. Those prices seem reasonable for the U-joints. You can get them a bit cheaper if you have the time to shop around. I think i got a quote for AUD $120 for a pair to replace the two on my 743 that one has locked up on, may as well replace them both. That price was non-genuine from a friend of ours that works in the bearing business. I see no reason why you can't re-tap the holes to the fly wheel out larger and install a suitable bolt. Loctite is a good idea, just to be sure. Even though it has U-joints you need to be careful with alignment, i think the limit is no more than 1/4” from being in-line with the pump. You are suposed to check the height from the floor in the engine bay to the centre of the pump spline and the same to the centre of the fly wheel. They should be almost the same (within 1/4”). I doubt this is what caused your old U-joints to fail as the bolts failed and not the joint its self. Just something to check is all. [/QUOTE]
