The old ones i bash out with a socket and a sledge. The new ones i really clean up where they go in. I take fine sand paper and brake cleaner until its sparkly clean. Then i take a dab of machine oil and wipe it on with my finger. Destroyed too many ujoints and learned the lesson.

Watching this 5 minutes before I go ruin mine.

[@imheretolearn770]

Turned out fine, used the hammer, socket, and block of wood method.

Great video, thanks for all the details. Doing mine tomorrow.

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

Good luck!

[@74nova36]

Not a bad tactic. I just prefer the socket and hammer method on a block of wood. Seen caps become cracked and needles misaligned from people doing the threaded press method and done it myself. Whatever gets it done ✔️

[@JerryNorton-p1x]

Did you index the driveshaft

[@adamsorell4851]

It has 2 piece drive shaft or one?

[@MrTwohunnidpercent]

What kind of clamp is that?

[@theronwolf3296]

I've got that tool, but that joint will not move. See if I can find a shop with a hydraulic press. It's always so much easier on youtube.

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

lol put it under tension with the remover then whack the ears with a hammer and itll usually pop loose

[@adamtedder1012]

Socket and sledge hammer. You don't got to be gentle with the old ones. Your replacing them.

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

From Montana but yeah basically it's got its share of rust. Rough life with me too, no cover and I use it to drive around in the snow
