I’m trying to replace the rear ujoint on 1986 Toyota pickup. My problem is that there’s no bearing cap lock-rings. There’s not even grooves for lock-rings. Is that normal? I’ve never seen one like that. Please tell me the proper way to replace them

 

The rings should be found on the inside of the yokes.

Oh they're there, their bearing caps hide them...
