Quit trying to force the damn thing!! You need a medium-large vise that can span the yolk plus room enough for a socket against the cup. What you do now is hang the exposed journals of the cross over the vise jaws and pound on the yolk to drive the cups back out and hopefully catch all the needles when they fly. Carefully gather them up, make sure they're not bent or broken (and yes, the cheap weasler needles WILL BEND....), then carefully reinsert them into the cups until you get them all in place, then grease the cup with a dab of grease on your finger. Then put the seals back on the cups... Now you can begin pressing the cups back into the yolk. What I usually do is press the first one in until it's flush with the inside of the yolk, then install the cross into it... then carefully press it further in until it's far enough to seat the snap ring but don't bother with the snap ring just yet. Make sure that the cup is actually pressed in straight and that the cross is centered visually when viewed from the other cup hole in the yolk. Now start inserting the other cup and MAKE SURE IT'S STRAIGHT. This is where you buggered up the last time. What I generally do is insert it enough so it's just about reached the cross and it's straight.... then slide the cross into the cup so you have part of the cross in BOTH cups.... then finish pressing the second cup home, using an appropriate size socket or nut or whatever is handy that will fit through the yolk. Use the vise to press it. If it binds up real bad, something is wrong. If you get to the last 1/8" and it binds up solid... then a needle has fallen down again. Take it apart again as before and try again. There is a knack to changing these things but once you get onto it... it's not so bad.... but most of us still have needles fall down sometimes, particularly on old and sometimes bent or worn yolks. The real fun will be when you attempt to install the second set of cups on the shaft yolk...

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
