C3 Corvette U Joints

[@morrisliebschutz8114]

This was really helpful to see what I'm getting into. Thank you for explaining everything in detail and the camera work was also solid. I opted to just replace the entire half shaft assembly rather than just rebuilding with new U-Joints. My '75 and as you stated the diameter increased to 3" rather than the thinner 2.5"

Thanks for taking the time to adjust the cameras so we can see what your doing, a lot of people don't bother. I think my 75 is going to need this, I feel something strange when I back up and I thinks a u joint is binding up. Thanks again.

What did you figure out it is? Having the same issue

[@az82ce]

Good video, only thing missing was the shade tree🤣

[@mikethompson2007]

Did I miss the part where you installed the u joint into the spindle flange?? Also you can't use that half shaft when you can press the u joint cap in with your thumbs...take it to your driveshaft shop and have them weld a new yoke in it.

@ 14:30 on your video The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Also the half shafts need to match and weight or you will get a vibration in your rear end it can range from mild too severe. Anyway like your video will be using it for reference thank you

[@GaryMathews-qk8de]

never press on the side of the yoke ,you can bend it ,and the new U-joint won't fit properly.use a small socket to drive the U=joint cap down .use the press plates to allow the other cap to drop out .use solid U-joints ,not the ones with grease fittings .

What's a guy going to pay for this job in a shop? For all four of them? Thank you that was a really good video I might be able to do it myself after watching your video you did a wonderful job of description and if I didn't have a press would I just hammer it out with a punch instead?

[@audiokyle]

thanks man! great video, saved me a ton of money

[@dadams19111]

Excellent video!!

[@robertpro791]

That shaft is toast it’s stretched out. Your are going to cause damage the u joint will move in there. Happened to me.

[@ajalwin2485]

No french locks??

[@believecross1597]

What year is your Corvette? My bolts on my u joints are very small 1/4 size 12 point Socket it's 1981 Corvette. Did you seem to get your half shafts out easy? How about the drive shaft was it easy? I have not done the job yet. Thank you great video..

Mine is a 1974. I had a lot of trouble getting the u-boats out because they were caked with so much road grime in the bolt threads dut once they were out, I was fairly easy to get the half shafts out.

[@audiokyle]

I just jacked up my 81, undid the 12 point 1/4 bolts, and was able to wiggle it out of the car. I've had these out before, they go back in fine.
