i have never indexed any driveshafts that ive removed. in fact, many service manuals tell you to rotate 180 degrees from original position if you have vibration. in my opinion its a waste of time unless nothing was replaced. doing a u-joint defeats the purpose.
Why no sound?
There you go you have a balljoint remover stop pounding
Put some oil while pressing the cups
Great video. Thank you guys !!
Is this the same for a 97 tahoe? If not could you leave a link for how-to? Thank you.
Tech tip #2, if you are pounding on a socket, hammer on the hex end, not the square end, it’s much easier to fix the hex end when you beat it to death.
Pounding on the driveshaft with a socket is a disaster waiting to happen, bent ears, closing the grooves for the clips, you are replacing the u joint, pound on it. And enough with the rust penetrant already.
It is nice to see a real world tutorial where things don't go perfectly in each step! Thanks for the great video!!
Gm has special plastic inside the driveshaft that keep the joints from falling out. No wonder it was so hard to take out the caps cause they didn’t melt them
