A universal joint for interconnecting a pair of rotating shafts and a cruciform (38) interconnecting a pair of yokes (16,18), each with a pair of laterally-spaced legs (22,30) each having an aperture (28,36) receiving a bearing cup (48A,48B) therein. During assembly, when a pair of axially-aligned trunnions (42A,42B), with bearing cups (48A,48B) mounted thereon, have been installed into the apertures (28,36) a retention member is inserted in each aperture (28,36) to rest on the bearing cup (48A,48B). Then an edge portion (80A,80B) of each aperture (28,36) is deformed to define one or more projections which engage the opposite surface of the retention member. <IMAGE> |
