Also, it came loose once, it will come loose again - tack weld the caps to the yoke. And move your ground clamp so you're not running current through the u-joint rollers.
The joint has to have a press fit. Some of the yokes were bad, you could install the bearing caps with your hands. I recommen installing the high-end Super ATV drive shaft.

The bearing cup was defective and burned thru when tacking it in place. When I pulled the u joint it was paper thin on the edge. None of the cups were loose. Just tacking them for safety. All other cups tacked just fine. So new u joint going in.
Get your old one out, take it to napa to match up. Spicer 1000 series commonly used in pto and truck steering shafts. If you really want to spend $400 on a new shaft instead of $60 for a pair of u-joints satv is a good choice
