Volvo Penta 270 sterndrive u joint repair

After pulling the sterndrive to replace the bellows, I noticed one of the u joints was going bad. Short video on how I replaced it.

Thank you for your videos, seriously the best videos on UA-cam about the Volvo penta, super helpful!

I'm sure you know but if you don't, after installation you can take a brass hammer and tap on both sides of the yoke and spider and loosen the joints up.
Just purchased an 87 Bayliner with the 270 outdrive, have learned a good bit from your videos. 👍

Late to this video but why not replace both u joints? And thank you for the video.

That's what I've been doing, buying junk boats. I have many 270 and 280 that were fresh water boats. Still cheaper than buying a new outboard.I/O volvo are bullet proof

You can just pull the transmission off and leave the outdrive on the boat to access the ujoints, correct?
