Re: Any tips for U joint replacement? 200 83Turbo

posted by  someone claiming to be Jake Fournier on  Mon Dec 11 08:30 CST 2000 [RELATED]

a big friggin' vice is useful when pounding the joints out. and a large socket slightly smaller than the u-joint cap itself is very nice to use as a drift. work in an area with a clean floor and bright light - so you can find the bearings that fall out when you misalign at least one of the caps. use grease to stablize the bearings, and take care pressing the caps on - bending a bearing is not good.

mark the two pieces of the driveshaft before sliding them apart. they need to be put back together exactly as they are now.

oh yeah, and don't slip and crush your crumbling fuel return line when you're reinstalling the driveshaft like i did.
