[TR] installing a u-joint

[Joe Curry]

One thing that I always do is put some stiff grease (axle grease works fine)
in thecups to hold the needle bearings in place so they do not fall out of
the outer perimeter amd not fall down in the center preventing the cup from
going all the way onto the joint.
