It’s been 30 years since I changed a u-joint. Decided to look on youtube
for any hints and tips and came across your video. Great easy way to do the
chore with standard tools! Thx for posting this.
why replace the u-joints with used ones new ones cost less than 20 bucks
Lame
that works great for drive shafts that you can get to with easz but i use a
big c clamp on sprayers drive shafts n the needles are a pain if they drop
Thanks dood!
just lay that cross across the jaws of the vise and hammer on the yoke ,
drive the cross out,
@randy1807 wow your funny and not very bright too, to bad you dont seem to
realize it, there is no taper in the cup, why dont you mic it out sometime
and shut your hole next time you want to sound smart furthermore, I did
this job the same way that we had been taught to do it in college so I
kinda got a hunch that its the right way, HA taper in the the cup wow
amazing what some people believe
good idea this vid will come in handy ,i hate dealing with u-joints because
of the needle bearings but i think this method will make it easy
The shaft in my Trans Am had a vibration, so I thought I would change the
joints. The original joints had some sort of adhesive that held them in.
The guy at the parts store told me I would have to heat it to melt the glue
since it would take a lot of force to break them loose. I took it to a
driveshaft shop and had them changed. He spun the shaft and showed me it
had a slight curve. He straightened and balanced it as well. You’re right
about heating it. Me doing it would have made it worse.
thanks dude! cheers!
your video is the clearest hands on on youtube!, anyway try a Wilton brand
vise – they last forwever!
yes this sucks its been doing this for some time now on vids that i watch
@wagner59270 Yup… Me too D-:
hey as long as it works..that’s all i gotta say. and thanks to the tutorial
video big guy. it helped alot. the manual explained it the same way but you
showed how to do it, i cant get the same info from reading. good luck dude
@randy1807 someones a little jealous?
Did mine with a big C clamp and a socket.
very smart idea .. thanks for making this video buddy.
You can heat the ends of the shaft so the steel expands and the cup will
slide out easier. The problem with that is you sometimes bend it when you
get it hot. You’re right about salvaging the old ones. The heat doesn’t do
them any good. I have used a vise, and once had to use a c-clamp to press
them out. The c-clamp way sucks. Luckily my shaft was clean and not rusted.
I always thought you had to have a press to do this. This makes a lot of
sense and I’m going to try that with my jeep. But I have one question. If
you put to much pressure on the socket, won’t it split? I just raving but I
would like to know. Thanks for the vid Wayne and I look forward to more. 5
out of 5.
Hi Wayne, i would’nt argue with how you did it, But i would fit the spider
to the small end of the shaft first, that way you dont have the weight of
the long shaft to handle while you fit the small end. In other words,
opposit to the way you did it. You can also make the it easier if you clean
it up with emery tape and add a drop of oil. Just my two-penny worth, But
hey fella a good vid, Jim
Great video, I have to replace my Front u-joint on my 2004 dodge Ram, so
your video helped except i dont have a vice ! Is it possible to change them
without one? Im going to replace both joints of course, its a two wheel
drive. got the parts coming from New York, I`m in England , anyway , i like
your attitude to life and what your doing is great . Andy, England.
indeed applying heat to any part of a driveshaft is never a good idea since
there is a very bad possibility of warping and thats not good on a part
that has to be perfectly straight
1) CAT STFU 2) I CAN’T HERE OVER THE LOUD CAT 3) NICE VIDEO 4) GTFO IF YOUR
CITAsizing THIS GUY
sweet Wayne. Take a punch and tap them snap rings into the grooves of the
yoke, I have had problems with rust in the ring groove and the snap rings
arent truely seated..good vid dude!
that is a good call and I may have to remember that next time
THanks for the share!
good video do you press all for ends
yah! carnsarn libertarian weenies always respektin the murican langwage. go
lern on ur own dime fuk gubment lernin! grrr!
sledgehammer light taps? you must be a red neck lol
All that work to install used u-joints?
All that work and you installed it backwards

you have. great video.
thank you for sharing that .
I’m going to replace the front u-joint in the front driveshaft on my s10
tomorrow and needed a refresher, thanks. 2 more things. 1) when you said
light taps I was thinking you were going to rap on it with those pliers and
2) awesome hat.
Try Using a Blow Torch next time instead of Just Pounding without Heat!!
Goes a lot Quicker!!!!!
Dude.. Polish them holes… You’re going to bent the ears together… Too
much pressure…
@randy1807 Are you crying?! There’s no crying on youtube!
Try Using a Blow Torch next time instead of Just Pounding without Heat!!
Goes a lot Quicker!!!!! Is he putting USED Joints back in???? they are Only
$10.00 a piece for New!!
I’ve learned a few methods over the years. This is similar to what I was
taught and developed.
Rite on
Meow,meow,meow,meow… meow damnit.
socket and a good ole hammer is quicker and easier
Nice video! good job on the U joint… *****
so did I… stopped doing it that way for a reason too
