How To: ATV/UTV U-Joint Replacement

[@keithhelle7334]

Anyone else every have issues with the yolk bending while trying to press the factory u joints out? I had that issues numerous times. I now have a piece of steel stock that I put between the forks of the yolk so the don’t bend in when pressing the u joint out.

I love how his just slides halfway in there while I’m over here with a fricking vise and a dremel cutting 1.5mm of steel away from the axles to have a chance on my u-joints being forced in. I’ve ordered multiple sets for an 08 Polaris 800 rzr and all of them are larger than the original.

I use an impact gun with every threaded press or pulling tool I have. No problems so far.

[@terrellscaife2411]

So can you just use a ball joint press

[@TomofAllTrades]

Thanks for sharing. Great video

[@mikealtemus455]

Any words of wisdom for someone who managed to pop one of the caps the whole way through into the inside of the yoke? I can’t get it lined up good enough to get it started to push back through the hole

[@julietjuchnewich9710]

i just did the same. used a 5" cutting wheel on a grinder to buzz it off. Worked fine

[@lizstevenson4659]

The u joint wont go in far enough to allow access to fit the clips. Any ideas

[@georgevaneerden877]

Get a Tiger Tool U Joint kit, much easier

[@corissan8648]

can we watch you put it on the atv?!

[@vinayakmudakavi2243]

Bro if hammer the press tool the threading may get damage We can even use small hydraulic press

[@dunerinaz]

The plate is free floating so there's no pressure on the threads
