Replacing a U-joint on a big truck with Tiger Tool U-joint press. (part 1)

[@frank9649]

I use a bottle jack to remove U joints....sometimes with a 3/4 inch extension and a small socket pushing it up with the bottle jack....works great

[@RamboTheCEO]

you got a video of this?

[@joefalmo5528]

Gordon one thing you’ll find out with that tool is that it will get cocked but you also must use a hammer and smack the yoke from time to time while you’re impacting on it once you get the U joint out clean up all the bores try not to Sand much sometimes on old yolks you can make them lose without trying very hard make sure and put some anti-seize all of the bores Thanks for all the videos keep them coming when you can and take care pal

[@ricogonzalez7508]

Tiger tool or not this was exactly how it goes in real life great video.those guys that make the video where the u joints cooperate and come out can kick rocks

[@ThaSouthMU]

Great vid, just had my u joint replaced a few days ago and I really got an idea of the work that was done!

[@57bagre]

Thanks for watching.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Great job! Love watching your videos!😎👍

[@57bagre]

Thanks Anibal.

[@bigpappahemi4263]

Looks like the truck drew blood. Once it draws blood that means you're working now!

[@donfichter5312]

Great video Gordon

[@bobw7066]

The hose on your rattle gun is stuffed at the coupling, I always fit on my air tools a 12 inch length of hose to the coupling. It gives better and freer movement to work with and the couplings last longer.

[@bobw7066]

When I am replacing these tight uni joint cups I always use a wheel cylinder hone inside the yoke ears to make the cup slip in and out with my fingers it makes the job a lot easier. No pullers needed ,no wacking with hammers and best of all no rollers fallen inside.

[@peyton.c8399]

Hey man i just starting out you really helped me with this video thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@57bagre]

You're welcome Peyton. I have a huge playlist on repairs on this old truck on my channel. I think it's called big truck repairs.

[@prevost8686]

That air hose looked like it was ready to bust and beat the living daylights out of someone.

[@vicpetrishak1077]

Use emery flap wheel with air die grinder to clean yoke holes .

[@cottonwood3592]

Tiger tool also makes a tool that works on Rockwell axles with the tapered lock rings. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny.

[@MrCarmelo1959]

Dammit man I’m pulling my hair out😂😂 hopefully he doesn’t change by the hour $$$😂😂😂

[@ctconstruction9239]

Tiger tools are worth there weight in gold - and there just as expensive. I bought one a few years back and have been using it ever since. Theyy come in sets if you can afford it but they are worth it. They also make a Tiger Tool to press out kingpins. If you own a shop there worth every penny.

[@KingDaveFL]

Thank you!

[@Mr79elk]

These are awesome tools, I have spread the ears of a yoke before with it though on a really seized bearing cap. now when a seized ujoint comes in, I just give the bolt a smack with a big hammer , tension up again and repeat.

[@57bagre]

Thanks for watching and subbing.

[@rovidius2006]

Little moisture gets in and bearing cap gets stuck ,hammer or and torch will do the trick

[@williamzoom]

They are worth their weight in gold :)

[@rayfox5040]

Just a small bit of advice, make sure to WD40 the crap out of the cups before removing as they rust on big time and you can slightly bend the ears apart on the yolk and end up with some added vibration and expenses. Other than that, they work awesome.

[@firstname6208]

should have greased the u joint first, then remove the zerk before using the tiger tool. when you have the cup about 3/4 of the way out remove the tiger tool and a smack the yolk with a 4 lb carburetor adjusting tool and the cap will pop right out.

[@CTSCAPER]

Gordon, It looks like you had the impact gun on the lowest power setting. Not sure if that was intentional or not. I've been seeing ads for that tool on KZbin for months and I'm glad you got a chance to show it in action, it's too bad the company couldn't send you the tool to demo. Man! That drive shaft is freakin' huge!!!

[@57bagre]

I caught you skipping on my video John, I realized I had the impact on low power at the last cap I was pressing off. I made a short video of that to save for when I have enough pieces to do a "bloopers" video, I have about 4 now, not enough yet.

[@CTSCAPER]

I was afraid I'd give myself away. :-(

[@grottu]

I’m always pressing that caps with hammer, clean area well and use anti seize. Wonder why it showed me this video 😄

[@ericcorse]

It looks the the gun power is turned down.

[@57bagre]

I turned it up near the end.

[@ericcorse]

Yes it is a bad habit of mine commenting before I watch the whole video.

[@allanherrera9549]

Good job, love the birds sound

[@stanpatterson5033]

That seems to work pretty well. First time seeing a Tiger Tool up close and in action. I've heard they're expensive, but they also say they're worth it. What's your impression, so far? Waiting on part 2 :) Man, I wish some of the trucks I've had to drive could have been kept in service as long as 1156B has been. Mind you, some of the junk I started out with lasted a little bit too long for my liking (at that time) so maybe I should be careful about what I wish for, lol.... Thanks for sharing your D-I-Y adventures, Gord.

[@57bagre]

OTC tools also has one for the same price as the Tiger and I think I saw another name too when I was searching. I can't have an opinion on it yet since it's the first time using it and I have nothing to compare it with, I got the job done, that's what matters, it beats a hammer.

[@purcellj84]

On their website the u-joint remover is only $261

[@user-rb8cx1br6b]

thanks for you friends

[@57bagre]

Thanks for watching.

[@tshaunscales525]

Is that a 1/2 inch are 3/8 inch hide you're using on your impact

[@alighuman2007]

1/2

[@Vertikala-pc5ig]

Do you think Milwaukee battery impact gun would be able to do it?

[@dieseldawg7132]

Hell yea If you have the big one 1100 impact torque if not use a your impact along with some pb blaster and a hammer

[@johnsonberry6750]

I got a question.. my pinion seal was leaking n i replace it. But it still leaking.. u think it the center bearing.. cause i see lot of rust in the center bearing

[@philfredericks5198]

too much runout of the pinion, caused by either incorrect preload on the pinion, or failure of the pinion bearing, often preload is caused by pinon bearing failure. Carrier bearing or center bearing is not a reason for pinon bearing failure. It only supports the driveshaft. When your carrier bearing goes bad you will know it. Your driveline will vibrate the worse the bearing gets the worse the vibration.

[@atalia6159]

What's Tiger tool part number.?

[@rs3maniac178]

I might not know what im doing. Lol

[@aliali-rz5em]

👍👍👍👍👍👍🌷

[@bigpappahemi4263]

Sir, I wish you would use jack-stands instead of just using the jacks only.

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

lmfao even if it slips off those jacks its going down 1 inch

[@garystocks8593]

Why you cant use the same tool to press them on? 🤔

[@57bagre]

If you change a u-joint you will see why. Thanks for watching Gary.

[@tshaunscales525]

What size socket and impact is needed

[@57bagre]

1/2" drive impact, I think the socket was about 1" or so. Thanks Tshaun.

[@7777777777e]

@@57bagre I used this tool today the socket was indeed 1"

[@victorsanchez2908]

you have to put it on high you have it on low
