You know I've never lied. And I don't use foul language, as that
and cross posting are how I've close many of these anonymous coward's
IPs.

Our local auto parts stores will lend out the big axle nut if you are
changing out your hub or axle, but there is no need for that to change
out a u-joint. The axle pulls out with the hub and you just change the
joint at the back side. Unbolting the center nut just gives the hub a
chance to blow apart.

Re: What tools do I need to replace a U-joint?
I'm with Mike on this one. If you live in the salt belt, this can be one
tough project. Supposedly you just remove the tire, remove the slide
pins on the caliper, remove 3 bolts that hold the hub, and pull the hub,
U joint, and axle out. But the hub likes to rust solid to the steering
knuckle. That turns a 15 minute teardown using basic tools into a 4 hour
session of profanity.

Re: What tools do I need to replace a U-joint?
After doing a bunch and having a sacrificial bolt 'and' putting it
together the last time with antiseize, I had it down to an hour to
change out one of those total pieces of crap they call a 'lifetime'
U-joint that only lasted a year....
