Spicer Greasable U-Joint Kit 1410/SPL36 Series 5-1410-1X — 1.188in Caps, Outside Snap Ring

Spicer 5-1410-1X is a premium greasable universal joint kit (1410/SPL36 series) with outside snap ring design for reliable driveshaft performance.

This greasable U-joint from Spicer is engineered for serviceability and long life in driveline applications that use the 1410/SPL36 footprint. It combines a standard 1.188-inch bearing cap diameter with an outside snap ring (OSR) retention style to simplify installation and future maintenance. The greasable design helps you replenish lubrication without disassembly, and Spicer’s manufacturing tolerances keep fitment consistent across like-for-like replacements.

What exactly fits this Spicer 5-1410-1X kit?

This kit is sized for 1410/SPL36 series driveline yokes and shafts. The bearing cap diameter measures 1.188 inches and the cap-to-cap span is 4.188 inches, matching standard 1410 applications. Check your shaft yoke dimensions before ordering for exact compatibility.

• Fits 1410 / SPL36 series yokes
• Bearing cap diameter: 1.188 in (30.18 mm)
• Cap-to-cap distance: 4.188 in (106.37 mm)
• Outside snap ring (OSR) retention style

How does greasable construction benefit maintenance?

Greasable U-joints let you inject fresh lubricant into the cross and bearings without removing the joint, extending service intervals and reducing wear. Regular greasing flushes out contaminants and replenishes lubrication where bearings and trunnions contact. For fleets and owners who perform periodic maintenance, greasable units cut downtime and lower long-term replacement costs.

• Central zerk fitting for easy re-lubrication
• Reduced bearing wear with scheduled grease service
• Quicker maintenance compared with non-greasable joints
• Helps prevent premature failure from contamination

What installation and retention features should I expect?

The 5-1410-1X uses outside snap rings (OSR) to secure bearing caps, simplifying alignment and removal when servicing the joint. Snap ring style affects how the caps seat against the yoke; OSR is common for straightforward replacement in many vehicle and industrial shafts. Ensure correct snap ring seating and torque sequence when pressing caps into place to avoid binding.

• Outside snap ring retention for accessible cap removal
• Precision-machined trunnions for proper bearing seating
• Press-fit installation; use a vice or hydraulic press
• Verify snap ring engagement before final assembly

How can I confirm this U-joint is right for my drivetrain?

Measure your existing U-joint: bearing cap diameter and the cap-to-cap span must match 1.188 in and 4.188 in respectively. Also verify the 1410/SPL36 series designation and whether your yokes accept outside snap rings. If unsure, compare the old joint’s dimensions or consult a driveline specialist with vehicle or shaft specs.

• Confirm 1.188 in bearing cap diameter
• Confirm 4.188 in cap-to-cap measurement
• Match 1410/SPL36 series and OSR retention
• Bring old joint or measurements when consulting pros

Who is this for: The Spicer 5-1410-1X greasable universal joint suits mechanics, do-it-yourself enthusiasts, and fleet maintenance teams replacing or upgrading 1410/SPL36 driveline joints. It’s ideal where routine greasing is preferred and where outside snap ring retention simplifies servicing—use it when you need a durable, serviceable U-joint with industry-standard fitment.
