*How to for a U Joint.....*
Hi, changing a front end u joint the right side. 1st time doing this. Before
i go ahead start this weekend thought I would ask if anyone has a good "How to" step by step web page or anything else? So I might make quicker,safer work of this task. Although I have help, I have been told if I do this wrong the results could be disastrous. :-| Any advice would be welcome and appreciated...... -Brian 91 YJ 4.0 o_o_o_o /| ,[_____], |ŻŻŻL --O|||||||O- ()_)Ż()_) ŻŻŻ )_) |
Re: *How to for a U Joint.....*
Bill H will likely chime in with a web site that is pretty through on
how to do it. Only problem is that he lives in the southwest where ice, snow, RAIN, and 10,000 salt trucks don't darken his doorstep. If you live north, the hub will be a real stinker to get loose from the steering knuckle. Lot of choices in how to get it out, mine is to jack the front end up HIGH, (use 6 ton jack stands to get it up high enough), use a BFH from directly undneath.

Re: *How to for a U Joint.....*
Hi Brian,
Usually you'll find the hub a little rusted in, use penetrating fluid, some like to leave one the bolts in, just back it off enough to persuade it with a BMFH.

Re: *How to for a U Joint.....*
Wow!
You managed to get the hub out in one piece with a slap hammer!!!???? Crap man, those are sealed hubs and normally pull apart into pieces way before the spindle is going to move. Or can/did you do it leaving the axle nut in place and slap the whole works out? I use a sacrificial bolt and cut the wheels one way then the other so I can hammer it out from behind.

Re: *How to for a U Joint.....*
I shouldn't say this....I used an air chissel...got it out far enough I
could use a BFH from the front. I managed to destroy one of the bolt holes in assembly the with the chissel which I had to fix. The guy that changed them last time, whenever that was, managed to bend the yoke enough that it required some force and ignorance to make it work. Wasn't a fun job...im not the best wrencher but I'll try anything. Learned that I don't like changing those u-joints though....
