I'm Awesome
Well I got the 1330/1350 U joint today and did the swap. Everything fit!

Uh....1/8" is going to be cutting iron. The holes aren't that big, and it's a waste of time any way. The plastic runs around the entire circumference of the bearing cup. The holes are where the plastic was injected, and the opposite side is to verify that it went all the way around.
What are you using for a u-joint press? You've got to have a setup that won't bend the yoke ears. Breaking that plastic takes a lot more force than just popping out bearing cups that are holding on due to habit, after the clips have been removed.
I know how the plastic is installed, I don't drill but have had people tell me it helps despite that.
A SNap On press in the vise and an air impact. I've done quite a few over the years working in shops and never bent a yoke on plastic. I have bent one when I was in a hurry and missed an internal ring. I like the plastic vs. digging out the rings.
