Spicer 1330 Series Greaseable U-Joint Kit 5-213X (OSR) - 1.062" Caps, 3.625" Span

Spicer 5-213X is a greaseable 1330-series universal joint kit with outside snap rings (OSR) built to match original equipment specifications for durable driveline performance.

This Spicer 1330 Series U-joint kit (part 5-213X) is made to the same dimensional and material standards as OE components so it fits and functions like the original part. It’s a greaseable outside snap ring (OSR) style designed for driveshafts requiring a 1.062" bearing cap diameter and a 3.625" bearing cap-to-cap (outside to outside) dimension. The kit is ideal for restoring factory fitment and serviceability on a wide range of light- and medium-duty driveline applications.

What are the core measurements and compatibility details?

The 5-213X kit uses the 1330 series geometry: 1.062" bearing caps and a 3.625" outside-to-outside span. Those dimensions are critical to match the mating yoke and driveshaft. Spicer lists cross references such as 2-1203, CP213X, and 433 for compatibility checks.

• Bearing cap diameter: 1.062 inches
• Outside-to-outside dimension: 3.625 inches
• Series: 1330 (standard 1330-series sizing)
• Style: Outside Snap Ring (OSR), greaseable

How does the greaseable OSR design help during maintenance?

The greaseable fitting enables periodic lubrication without removing the joint, extending service life and preventing premature wear. Outside snap rings secure the caps in position while still allowing removal when replacement is needed. Routine greasing reduces friction and helps protect bearings and seals from contaminants.

• Grease zerk for easy lubrication access
• Outside snap rings for secure, serviceable retention
• Sealed bearings designed to accept grease replenishment
• Simplifies routine driveline preventive maintenance

What should I expect when replacing a U-joint with this kit?

Installation requires removing the driveshaft, pressing out the old caps, and pressing in the Spicer caps to factory depth, then securing with the outside snap rings. Verify the 3.625" cap-to-cap measurement and the 1.062" cap diameter before installation to ensure fit. After pressing in the joint, grease through the zerk until new grease appears at the seals.

• Press-fit cap installation (shop press or appropriate tools recommended)
• Confirm 1330-series dimensions before ordering
• Use correct snap ring seating and torque procedures
• Grease after installation to seat seals and bearings

Who is this for: The Spicer 5-213X U-joint kit is aimed at professional technicians, home mechanics, and fleet maintenance teams who need a direct-fit, greaseable OE replacement for 1330-series driveshafts. It’s suited for vehicles and equipment originally fitted with 1330 U-joints or cross-referenced by part numbers such as 2-1203, CP213X, and 433, where a 1.062" cap and 3.625" span are specified. Choose this kit when you want factory-style dimensions, serviceability through a grease zerk, and the reliability of a genuine Spicer replacement part.
