Abstract
A constant velocity universal joint includes outer and inner joint members configured to transmit torque therebetween through intermediation of balls while allowing angular displacement. A power transmission shaft is coupled to the inner joint member. A mounting and dismounting mechanism configured to mount and dismount the power transmission shaft to and from the inner joint member is provided between the inner joint member and the power transmission shaft. The mounting and dismounting mechanism includes a tubular member inserted externally on the power transmission shaft so as to extend from the inner joint member, a fixing member received in the tubular member, and an annular member arranged on an outer periphery of the tubular member. The fixing member is moved in the radial direction along with movement of the annular member in the axial direction so that the fixing member is mountable to and dismountable from the power transmission shaft.
