Here's how you change a U-Joint the easy way. With just a little patience, penetrating oil, and some simple tools, you can change an old rusty worn out Universal joint with very little effort.

When I was a kid I remember my uncle crawling under my dads old truck in the middle of nowhere replacing a u-joint. My dad always carried an extra in his glove compartment. I was amazed at how quickly he was able to do it with hardly any tools. Ingenuity from years of working in the bush. This looks much easier. Thanks for sharing.

One other comment- the caps are actually supposed to be a tight fit. They are designed like that. They should NOT just slide in with a push from your fingers. That indicates worn bores or (less likely) mis sized U-joint caps. If caps slide in by hand, you should think about replacing that driveshaft yoke. You should need to lightly tap them in with a hammer, at least. I've been turning wrenches since the 1980's and I can assure you that Spicer designs their yokes this way.
@tjm390011 ай бұрын
Thank you ! This should be be repeated. You SHOULD NOT be able to press the caps in with your fingers. The caps are an interference fit.

@@xxlxpman yea, if they are that easy to press in then the yoke is junk. Ever lose a drive-shaft? On top of that, using a vise or c-clamp without properly supporting the ears will bend them, if the press fit is proper... Then you'll get lots of practice changing them, lol.. The wrong way anyhow...
@livewire275911 ай бұрын
Yeah, not just Spicer, but all u-joints and yokes are designed to have a pressed fit so the bearing caps don't spin. The only exception I know of is heavy duty, class 8 semi trucks... the u-joint caps are supposed to slide in by hand on those, but they use cap screws to hold the caps in place. I always use a file to clean out the rust, but I've NEVER greased the cap bores like this guy did.

"Just keep everything all greased and oiled up" is what my dad taught me from a very young age. Its no big secret in getting these things to last a very long time, its just down to simple lubrication. Our old 1969 Ford D Series truck (the first brand new truck my father ever purchased) is still running on its original UJ's, they get a pump of grease every week. It never ceases to amaze me that most vehicle manufacturers now routinely fit non-greasable UJ's, its like they are just setting you up for an early failure and a reqular and expensive trip to one of their dealerships.

yes and no........I totally understand what you mean, but the u joints in this truck were non greasable and they were ORIGINAL and had 250k miles on them. What I've always been told is the non greasable joints have much better seals and last a long time........the greasable ones have seals that are meant to let grease push by them when you grease them.....so if you have greasable joints you need to keep them greased.

@@cheapwheels9828 Keeping things greased is a real passion with me, I find it theraputic pushing old grease out and replacing it with new. My grease gun is older that our oldest Ford truck, heck, its probably older than me. 250,000 miles on a set of sealed UJs sounds good, but our old Ford has done more than ten times that and still on the originals. But, having said all that, if people dont grease there grease points, its all going to go sour very quickly. Dont forget to grease your new UJs often, I send you a reminder now and then. Lol.

Same in a sense, but I do it all and all so emery cloth. I don't grease the yolks though because I will never be changing them again. My present f150 has 356,000 km on the originals. 1) always change all u-joint on a driveline at the same time including steady bearing. 2) wrap some electrical tape around the u-joints body to hold the two opposing caps in place so they don't accidentally fall off into the dirt. 3) try to understand why the u-joint went out in the first place, a) just wore out, b) a dent or bent in shaft, c) a weight got knocked off. And seeing as there has been some vibration going on check the transmission seal and pinion seal for any leakage. I know it's a pain to change the seals but it will save a big expense later on.

Good stuff Dave! The retaining clips have a sharp 90 degree on one side and a curved edge on the other. Place the sharp 90 degree to the outside of the joint for better retention. Seat the clips into the groove with a punch or screwdriver to insure they bottom out into the groove. Make sure the zerk grease fitting is located in the correct position. If it is placed towards the differential on the rear joint you may not be able to get a grease gun on the fitting. I prefer to hammer out the old joints while supporting the opposite ears on the jaws of a open vise. This helps to support the ears of the yoke so they do not spread apart or twist causing alignment problems. I also put a little heavy grease into the cups to make sure the needle bearings do not fall out of place while pressing or hammering in the new cups. It’s always the little things that get you but if your aware of them you wonder what all the fuss is about. Speaking of little things, how’s Moose doing. Is he herding you around the yard yet?

It's a good practice to drive the first cup in deeper than it will end up. That way the trunion will reach further and allow the rollers in the other cup to ride on the trunion earlier, keeping them in place while pressing that cup into it's proper location, which will drive the first cup back against it.s snap ring. Not doing this procedure allows the rollers to fall out of place too easily.
@cumminsscout11 ай бұрын
Or one or two rollers flipping flat - always my worry!
@bottmar111 ай бұрын
@cumminsscout. That is my worry too. That is why I drive the first cup in farther than it will be later on as the trunion will be projecting out so the second cups rollers will reach their trunion shaft first, before the cup touches the yoke. That insures no rollers will be dislodged as you are only guiding them on without interference from the cup starting in it's hole. The whole works will drive in as a unit, pushing the first cup against it's snap ring. This works good on constant velocity joints too, where you have an increased complex assembly to maintain roller placement.

Lesson learned right here----thanks. Many machine shops that did this kind of work have closed in the last 20 years or so so this is great to be able to do it yourself.

One of the main parts that may be overlooked as we use oil change places and/or we get in hurry when we change our own oil. A loose U-joint, especially the front one is very dangerous as the front of the shaft can fall out, catch on the ground or slide around and get caught under a rear tire. There is enough tension and force from vehicle to flip it over if caught under the tire. Very good video. Wish we had these videos when I was much younger. Had 80 year old friend was trying to change his and I didn't remember how to change it. Thanks.

Dave- didn’t know where to post this… could you do a brake job video? Especially the bleeding part. Lots of videos out there but I think that I think like you and would love to see how you do it. Thanks for all the great videos - here, and on that other booming channel!

Always mark the driveshaft to the diff location ,can be out of Ballance if put back on in the wrong location .also a little more grease in the cups will keep the needle brgs from falling out
