u-joints

[kenpack1]

I need to replace the u-joints in my 03. Is it a drivway project or a machine shop press project?:lol:

Driveway project if your handy. Go up to auto zone and borrow there balljoint press. Easier than the socket and hammer method

how did it go done yet

Make sure and paint mark the components prior to U-joint removal to preserve balance integrity. This procedure ensures it goes back together the same way it was built and balanced.

Also mark the rear of the shaft to the rearend pilot so it goes back in the same way it came out.

Let us know how it went.

The pins always hold me up. Other then that, it's easy.

Your missing the boat if you do not just remove the drive shaft and TAKE it to a Drive Shaft place and have the u-joints replaced by them and then have them BALANCE the driveshaft.
