I appreciate the way you've explained this and described it, including why you've done each bit the way you did. Makes it easy to understand. Haven't done this job before, but I feel I'm ready to tackle it tomorrow. This is the third video I've watched on U-joint replacement, and this was by far the best. Thank you, sir.

Really helpful video. I'll keep your store in mind for parts if I have to tackle this job. Great to learn about another new Ontario based resource on these cars. Cheers!

Superb tutorial! I didn't mark the orientation on the flange before stripping so I hope I'm lucky! Also I have to complete two of the caps in situ as the only way to fit the prop shaft (without removing the diff or engine & gearbox) is to install then fit one new U/J. I'll just have to use 'the persuader'!

Hi Andrew I would suggest trying a G-clamp rather than bashing them. Or if your really short of room a couple of flat plates with bolts either side. James

About rotating assemblies, in our time we were drilled on marking these out to keep the whole in balance. Good tutorial, enjoyed watching. Thank you.

thank you ! learning from you sir

I found this very useful when I did my UJs on my TR3 thanks. One question what is the best lubricant to use on the sliding splines?

[@Dr-Doolincom]

Hi Phil, I just use wheel bearing grease, it has the right properties for high pressure contacts and a good heat range. James

Thank you, Sir... That's a very helpful video.. Cheers,

Excellent tutorial....

[@bertiewooster3326]

What about the other end what if uou pull the spline out how do you line up with the other end or doesn't it matter?

[@Dr-Doolincom]

There is only a spline at one end, the other end of the shaft is a solid mounting for the U-joint.

[@johnbutler3141]

@@Dr-Doolincom I think he means , is there only one way for the splines to go back. On quite a few of the leyland cars there is a 2 arrows to line up. If not lined up it can vibrate.
