I got the dreaded clunking noise from the front right u joint... darn it!
In this video I show how to replace your axle u joint and how to overcome some unforeseen problems (with fire).
Replacing the u joint is straight forward if you have the right tools :
- Axle nut impact socket set (36mm for Jeep wrangler) ebay.us/ZrqS5f
- Ball joint Press kit (works with u joints as well) ebay.us/U8rGVR
- Moog 491 greaseable u joint for wrangler rubicon (2007 to 2018 dana 44)

- Dead blow hammers ebay.us/TuXytl
- Oxygen propane torch kit ebay.us/StfPps

About time I found a vid that shows what wrenching on a Midwest vehicle really looks like. Torches and hammers are a necessity.

Mate… your video is perfect as it is, it represents the means, the majority of us have.

I agree, some if not all of the other videos make it look like things go pretty easily on this repair. But it is a fairly big job and things do get rusted, stuck or hard to reach, glad you showed that. And don’t forget everyone, clean off the rotor with brake cleaner before the wheel goes back on. Almost a guarantee that some greasy something will have gotten on it by now!

Again thanks for the video. Got my parts and the two tools I needed and got the job done. After getting it all apart I found my problem one of the caps was rusted inside and you could see the heat damage. This video had all the info I needed. Only strange things was I didn't have any spacers on either axle shaft.

Great video shows that it's doable in the drive way with most common tools

Thanks for the video had everything I needed. Just ordered new u joints for my 11 jku Rubicon. And some cheap tools. Now I'm wondering if I should do the axle seals while I have most of it in pieces. And then I wonder at what point do you stop at.

The first step is to take off the wheel? What about lifting and supporting it first ;)

Im having major issues with my ujoint job, I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler sport JK. I go on any auto parts store website, put in my vin, and shown a selection of everything that SHOULD fit. I pickup some Spicer 5-153x joints with the intention of replacing both fronts as a day job. Fought with the damn joint for 4 hours with success, but the brand new joints are significantly smaller than the bore. This is a time sensitive issue and i really need this fixed by tonight. Any help/advice is more than appreciated.

Good and very helpful video... but tapping the cap with a hammer is a major NO. You have a press tool, just use that instead :)

Just curious did you have any steering looseness or play when driving or did you know the u joints were bad from noise only. Got a quick/short gap somewhere in one of the steering components. Just can't find it😮‍💨
