U-joints

[rewindgy]

Anyone changed out their U-joint themselves? I have done lots on cars & trucks - but I have never had problems as with this Kawi! I have a proper hydraulic press and getting the new one in was a bear. As of now, I may take it apart again as I have this nagging feeling I damaged the needle bearings in one cap -doesn't growl or rumble - just doesn't feel right?
Anyone else have issues installing the new joint ???? Unless I ended up with a less then top quality replacement? I measured old vs new with a caliper and they appear to be the same dimensionally.
