Repairing loose U-joint cap bore with knurling - part 1

After removing basket rusted u-joint caps from front axle knuckles, the new u-joint caps dropped through the yoke bored with light thumb pressure. Next time, I’ll be replacing the axles along with the u-joints, but repairing it this time by knurling the yoke bored by holding a small, sharp center punch back about 1/16” and banging on it with a hammer about 1000 times until evenly marked up all around.
