I checked my Hardy Spicer u-joint inventory and this is what I found. HS195
has a grease fitting and the cross section diameter is .625 . HS161 does
not have a grease fitting and the cross section diameter is .657 . Both
are dimensionally correct for the halfshaft/driveshaft. Due to constant
problems I use only u-joints made is the US or UK. Hope this helps........AT
