Great Explanation.

Marlen Sands says:

It works but you could put it in the vice with a socket on the back side
that is little bigger to press it into and the vice makes easy work of it.
thanks

is there a special place to put the zerk fitting? I believe that For
maximum u-joint strength, you want the Zerk fitting to be under compression
when the driveshaft is turning to drive the vehicle forward.

seconds and no damage to the U-Joint

My first attempt at replacing my U-joints on a full size Bronco, after the
frustration of watching many idiots videos, I would say this one was the
best. Thank you from this little redneck gal. <3

2005 dodge Dakota 4×4 4.7 with only 38k on it.and the rear seal is bad.

it would have came out about five swings sooner if your bench wasn’t
bouncing so much

sc3n3cor3 says:

Its kind of working. I will thank you for the idea. But I can’t get it
worth a shit. I’m doing it on my f150, and can’t get the joints out. I’m
guessing the the stock joints. On a 95, Probably why its suck a pain to
do…

Frederick Flickner says:

Thank you. Extremely helpful.

Dakota Day says:

good shit thanks

Give your dog some water man!

zoffinger says:

Did you see my second video? I put a link in the description above. There
might be nylon pins holding it together if it was stock. I’m no mechanic,
but I can’t imagine your u-joints being that different than mine. Good
luck, man.

Randy Posvar says:

Great stuff! Easy explanation of everything…..well done!

mkl3opt says:

Good job. When in college I worked at my uncle’s machine shop and he would
do a joint in 3 minutes – remove and install nearly the same way as you!
(vice to reinstall though) One thing you should do though is using a brass
drift, hit the spider in each of the 4 directions to ensure you have not
overpressed the cups and the machined clearance of the spider is maintained
– the clips provide the stops for this.

Kias r fwd they dont hAve u joints…

yjwranglerdangler says:

Most chain auto parts stores will rent you a press for FREE. So no need to
buy or ruin your vice grips or socket set.
