Quick U-Joint replacement. Do it correctly, so they last.
Spicer makes some of the best Universal Joints and are OEM equipment on a lot of stuff. Generally they are only a few dollars more than cheap auto parts store brands. Amazon has them though: amzn.to/2rkj2px
The calipers I used in the video: amzn.to/2jmXS5m
Best of the Best Spicer u joints: amzn.to/2rkj2px
A lot of the Spicer U joints will come with multiple retaining clip thicknesses.
HAMMERING is far gentler than PRESSING with a vise or press. Pressing easily bends yoke ears and though you may get the job done you ruin the balance of your shaft, destroy needle bearings or worse.

I blew my u joint out next to a highway just below a hill from a parts store so I bought a new u joint and replaced it side of the highway with a pair of leatherman multi tool pliers a socket and a 3 pound mallet all without pulling the shaft from the truck with careless drivers flying past like dale Earnhardt running in nascar

What makes this video better than the others is that it shows problems that can arise and how to fix them.

Good video, the only thing you didn't do is relieve the preload. The way you do this is hold the driveshaft in one hand off of the ground and with the other take a hammer and hit just behind the bearing straight down, just a light tap don't hit the tube only the knuckle. Now rotate the driveshaft 180 degrees and tap the other side. The stiff feeling u -joint will be free. Been doing these for 45 years. Great video for showing how to replace without any fancy tools.

Good video! I would only add, for first timers, that you should note the angle orientation of the grease zirc. It should point in towards the driveshaft. If you miss this it will be harder to get a grease gun on the zirc. You should also try to get the zirc in phase with the front fitting so you can grease both at the same time without rotating the shaft.

And I can tell everyone watching that with the ease those came out , They’ve been replaced many times . Also using this process can cause the yokes to bend inward causing that “pre-load” Best practice is to use a U-Joint press and to have an assistant present to hold things while pressing . Far fewer headaches will be incurred this way .

Absolutely! Hammer method to remove for sure. Very easy and less likely to bend ears. Works fine to install also. Keep things square/straight. C clamp to install may work well in most cases. Personally have done 1350 series u-joints several times and used the hammer method for the first time a couple days ago. Was struggling with a 6inch vise and 2+1/2 foot piece of pipe as an extension on the vise handle. Wouldn't move. Hammer Time. So much easier!

I pretty much remove and install U joints exactly the same as you do. although a couple things you didn't mention while U joint is out of yoke. a person should inspect the snap ring groove carefully that it's not getting tapered. the sides of groove should come straight up and have a sharp edge. so the snap ring will stay in better. and the other thing is GM vehicles for many years didn't have snap rings. they had nylon injected into the yoke. and a person has to use a torch to melt the nylon out of the out of the yoke to remove the U joint. the replacement U joint comes with a C clip style snap ring that is installed on the inside of bearing cap and they don't have a groove in the yoke.

great video! saved me a bunch of money but i must stress the point for anyone attempting this, follow step by step, carefully!!! I goofed and dumped the bearings out of three of the caps and had to painstakingly clean everything, put them back together and add grease to make them stay.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, dropping those pin bearings can be a nightmare.

Smashing job :-D, i never thought about end slack adjusting on UJ's. So just tight enough for the seals to work correctly, keeping junk out of the needle rollers.

People put them on too tight and the end of the trunnion and cap wear. This puts metal shavings into the needle bearings and destroy them.

Good video. I also like doing stuff on the garage floor. When I drop something, it doesn't have a chance to roll far away.

Great video! I'm just about to change mine out on my 85 K30 , old national guard truck. LOL, of all the stupid things to notice.... I see well used but well taken care of tools. As a tradesman, I like to see that. Too many videos with rusty crap tools being misused, usually damaging the piece in the process.
