Mitsubushi L200 Propshaft UJ replacement

[@SuperMinimadness]

Mark the correct way to replace the universal joint is to remove the driveshaft from the truck then change the joint on the bench,never seen it done like how you did it and would not recommend doing it that way to much can go wrong.

Good work mark Thor's hammer done the trick 😂👍🏻

[@petar443]

You need a set of drive-on ramps for easier work on the truck.

[@WrenchingOnCars]

The front of the driveshaft should have a splined slip joint that goes into the transmission. You should have been able to remove the drive shaft without having to do anything with the front universal joint. That would have allowed you to use the press for the other side of the joint and re-intsall the drive shaft. I saw a comment on the location of the grease fitting. Most original equipmetn universal joins come sealed wihth no grease fitting. For the one you took out, it seems the grease fitting didn't do much good. Good video.

Thanks mate I just really didn’t what to me mess with that end appreciate the info mate 👍👍

[@WrenchingOnCars]

@@ResurwreckAutosUK I know about this because I have experienced broken U joints in my misspent youth (when most american cars were front engine rear drive). The drive shaft is easily removed and put in the trunk so the car can be pushed or towed.

That copper / hide hammer. They great with the renewable screw in ends. Sometimes the hide is just to soft. You do know you can get nylon ends don’t you. As you know the nylon is a soft plastic. Softer than the copper harder than the leather

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi mate yeah I have a nylon hammer but it’s a small one

[@stuwillis7710]

@@ResurwreckAutosUK you can get a screw in end (nylon) to fit your copper / hide. Give you the little extra weight

Wow mark credit to you in 50 years in the trade I’ve never seen it done like that

[@bornpompey2]

[@alanbartlett9523]

Unbelievable!!!!!

[@danielsellers8538]

It was good to have a change and very very interesting and informative thanks enjoyable video

[@durhammotorsreborn7399]

I think you put it back together the wrong way round. How are you going to get to the grease nipple. Hope I'm wrong and you can still get a grease gun on it

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi mate I put it back the way it come off 👍👍

[@DR.N2STY]

Mark re look at your video mate the original one had the nipple facing forwards towards the driveshaft now you have it facing backwards these often get neglected on servicing pumping the grease in is a must ​@@ResurwreckAutosUK

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

@@DR.N2STY hi mate really o shit

[@DR.N2STY]

@@ResurwreckAutosUK it may not be a problem as long as you can get a grease gun on that nipple where it is(fingers crossed)

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

@@DR.N2STY yeah I’ll check tomorrow

[@MartinJones-tl9kt]

Amazing you didn't show how you got it off and propshafts are balanced not weighted

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Propshafts are balanced with weights from factory

[@edwardalannewton8591]
