This video went perfect with my morning coffee! No music, No talking and great filming!
Thanks for reminding me I need to do this job on my own truck!
Gonna be doing this same tomorrow on my truck too
FINALLY! Someone besides me uses straight phosphoric acid for rust treatment!
Another great watch! Thank you for posting.
Great job.
A thing of beauty.
Very satisfied.
I got a PVC pipe that the driveshaft would fit in. Glued caps on the end and cut it long ways to make a trough. set the shaft in the trough and filled with phosphoric acid. The result was a completely rust free driveshaft that needs no painting and is still rust free 10 years later.
Great silent video! Thank you
I think over time he's just building his dream car with scrap parts and I love it
Please do more on the keep restoration stuff like this! Subbed for it!
Thank you for your Video. Very helpful on my Dentside restoration.
Very nice work! Thank you
Great to see the clamp was made in the USA. Quality steel is guaranteed 👌!!
wow man Incredible and sastifacting Work congratulations!!
Realy love your channel and your restoration skills. Also I like that you restore big things.
Subscribed your channel! Greetings from Germany
That tool he used to remove the uni joint is a ball joint clamp/remover if anyone was wondering
Good clearance on the grease zerk. I have to use the pipe end to get at mine. I have changed my u-joints so often they turn in the ears of the shaft....going to have to resort to some thread locker or something.
I enjoyed this.👴🇨🇦❤️❤️
Super cool 👍
Very satisfying...
That truck is brand new again !
That’s a good trick! I hit the side of the yoke with a hammer and it loosened up the stiff new u-joint.
I also got a ultrasonic cleaner for Christmas, exited to see how it does :)
Pretty nice job 👍!
This would make Roadkill proud!
Amazing video! I just dropped the driveline on my 52 ford one ton preparatory to pulling the motor and I wondered if I could really clean up the drive shafts. This gives me hope that I can! Thanks!
Great video! I was going to change the unjversals and call it a day but now I have to make pretty!
Nice Job! I'm wondering if the surface finish on the yoke was good enough to seal, or if it will wear the seal prematurely. Looked decent on camera.
Omg u hitbmy eye with that snap Ring
Good job and well done
Very nice work two things I do I put just a little bit of grease inside of caps to help hold the needle bearings more than once I have seen them fall out of place I also like put a tiny bit anti seize on the out side of the caps it goes together nicer plus the next will thank for it I have been turning wrenches for almost 50 years every thing from small engines to farm tractors once nice work plus thank you for not ramming some shit ass music down our throats
Looks like you're running some lift, ever thought of using slip yoke eliminator with a double cardan shaft? I remember having so many problems with the slip joint on my lifted cherokee in the past. As always, awesome work !!
Old mechanics never die, they just get a new set of wrenches
Very nice good job man more about this job
Talented
Thank you.Excelent job.A+ for you.I lerned a lot.Excuse my Ingles.
Great job sir 👍👌💪
very nice, on the bolts use 2 slivers of wood between the pliers so as to not gall threads.
Job security. ; )
I use a locking pliers for buffing bolts, as I hate chasing them around the shop floor. I used to get pretty impressive distances from some of them.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one on my hands and knees looking under shelves for launched hardware
Looks great man, glad to see you are back making videos!
Incredible work!!!!! A rebuild like this will last a long time!!! Merry Christmas!

I need to do this to pretty much everything under my Jeep. Differential got toasted when they let an oil leak go too far. Wish I had a sandblaster
Oddly satisfying to watch.
Mechanical stuff raised to the level of art. Brilliant!
Just found this a couple years after you published it. Where were you 40 years ago when I was changing the u-joints on my Chevy Blazer? I spent hours beating on a socket extension trying to get the caps out of the shaft. Using a c-clamp never even occurred to me, not that I had one at my immediate disposal. I am enjoying your Jeep videos, as well as your other restoration content.
More XJ stuff lol! You would love mine, I can stick my feet through the floorboards. Out of the 4 that I've had this one is the worst rust wise but it's a 5 speed and I love it.

@Miles London No you didn't you're a bot.
My first car was a 92 Ford thunderbird I bought for $300 in cash when I was 15. It was in 4 wrecks in its life so the whole left side and the front of the car were all different colors. The A/C didn’t work, the heater core was clogged and a week after I bought it the radio was stolen out of it. It also had no door panels so I cut myself every time I would open up the door. Even though it looked like it belonged in the scrap yard it never left me stranded well until the transmission went out on the highway so I scrapped it and got back $300 the exact amount when I bought the car.
More jeep stuff bro!
Your sandblasting is amazing, 5:30
Very nicely done. For grins and giggles, you should get it balanced. I had the driveshafts on my Dodge MB300 rebuilt and they were massively out of balance. Apparently that skill wasn't Ma Mopar's forté. I am, of course, ASSuming your XJ is a post-AMC model.
Battery terminal pliers work great for removing the u joint clips
Awesomd work. Enjoyed this vid and the rear end rebuild one but I noticed at the end of both when you filmed your test drive it looked like the right rear shock was bent at a weird angle? Maybe it's just the camera view.
Спасибо очень понравилось 👍👍👍
Super👍👍
Perfecto
Really nice job on the restoration brother. Replacing U-joints can be a real pain, but it's a necessary evil. :) Thanks for the cool video. Rev. D.
@Meme Man But unfortunately they can become corroded and sticky, or belts bind and break. Everything has to have maintenance; if they ever made a vehicle that didn't need it, no one could afford it! :)
@Meme Man 100% on both brother! :) Cheers! Rev. D.
Great video! I have an identical looking driveshaft on my ‘69 Chevy that requires rebuild with universal joints making squeaky noises. Will follow this video step-by-step. Thank f*ck for UA-cam and guys like you, saving me literally thousands of pounds and I get to buy tools with my cash.
..nice job,..what was the product that turned the bolts black?
I'm curious as to what media you're using to blast these parts with. Great series so far, just stumbled upon it in my recommendeds.
I have to do the exact same thing to a transfer case to front wheel differential as well. Nice project. Unless I am seeing camera error, your passenger side rear shock looks bent... Thumbs Up!
Must be a camera error from the wide angle lens. Thanks!
NEVER clamp the driveshaft tube in a vice!
It's fine, as long as work is done to the yoke vertically. And also, choking the vice up to the weld of the yoke helps alleviate pressure to the tube if that is a concern.
Only a hack works on a driveshaft like this!
First in thank you!

Nice work. I personally prefer non greaseable Spicer Life joints. Look how long those factory Spicer parts lasted. Usually the grease just ends up spraying out all over your undercarriage with a greaseable.
How did you get the sandblast tank to close up with the driveshaft in there? Great work and well edited too. No talking, no trash, just straight out getting work done. This video sets a great example to others about how to make a real no nonsense video, short and sweet. Thank you again, great work right there, Jim
You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Sylas Houston Instablaster =)
@Reuben Henry i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Reuben Henry it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Sylas Houston You are welcome :D
Definitely do more videos on your Cherokee xj
Already on it, boss. Thanks!
Когда-то в молодости я тоже этим заморачивался!
Oddly satisfying

I haven’t see a u-joint c clamp, I’ve used sockets to press the cups out. I want one! Way cool.
The clamp is from a ball joint press set not specifically for u joints but does work good
You can also make your own tool. Two short angle pieces, weld a short plug on one and a pipe on the other. In the vise the plug pushes the joint out into the pipe and just use the plug to install. Like this...www.homemadetools.net/homemade-u-joint-press-3
after applying the phosphoric acid, how do you clean it ? Using water usually causes flash rust to appear ...
When you get done restoring my one arm bandit then come fix my truck too!....good stuff, always enjoy you content.
Awesome video! What was the stuff your poured on the bolts at 9:23 ??
its a blueing solution
@@extorter Thank you sir, I found some - Birchwood Casey Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue
Good and informative video! Please tell me, what tool did you use to press out the universal joints? I've used a ball-pean hammer in the past.
ball joint press set
Question. Because I’m lazy, could I just impact through the old u joint retainers if I’m gonna trash them anyways? Thanks man
What about the mechanism of the slot machine? I’m so interested!
Do you put on a clear coat after painting?...how many coats of paint?
If the male and female shaft have too much clearance, is it rebuildable by welding and machining? Is it worth it?
Когда я увидел, как ты демонтируешь стопорные кольца, то начал чесаться в самых неприличных местах
а то как он на 8:10 поставил стаканчик тебя не смутило?)))
0:44 peing with morning wood be like
its how we remind the wife we exist
You did a great job in cleaning the drive shaft but I dont get why you need this much care for a drive shaft. Simple cleaning and replacing the UJ kit will suffice. But that's my opinion... btw nice video.
Where did you get that press tool to press the old and new u joints? That thing works great. Love the videos
they sell them on amazon and they also rent them at any auto parts stores. its called a ball joint press.
what is that impact clamp tool, that is being to remove the bering caps
أعتقد انك لن تفهم لغتي لكن استمر يا مبدع👍🏻❤️
قله Good job and keep going
Meme Man yes he is
Meme Man yes
Mine is pitted way worse! Can i still use it?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What was the liquid that turned the strap bolts black?
What is that liquid used for bolts to get them black ?
Question. did you balance the driveshaft?
Great question.
You should post the link to your sand blasting set up
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good job . how much tools India Rupees ?
Good work. 9:23 Which chemical (or acid) do you use to protect the bolts from rust?
I think it was probably bluing liquid
I think that is black oxide, typically there are multiple steps to cleaning, but by wire brushing you clean it and I guess he just poured the final chemical and skipped the prior steps. I like it.
What all these kinds of videos lack and not just on this channel. But there's no knuckle smashing, no tool throwing, no bleeding..
I edit that stuff out 😉
What chemicals and grease did you use?
when you compare welding to brazing there's really no contest between the two. welding is by far the superior method.
No. Welding arcs alter the crystalline structure of the metal, making it very brittle. To make a part strong again after welding, you have to temper the whole part to get a uniform temper, else you're liable to have stress cracks form around welds. Brazing on the other hand works at a much lower temperature, and if you pre-heat the part, there is a lot less stress induced in the metal. Using a fiberglass blanket after brazing to allow the part to slowly cool will keep the part strong.
@@GGigabiteM No you misunderstand. Brazing certainly has its place when it comes to joining metals, but what im saying is that when you compare them welding is far superior.
@@ah11692 Welding has its place, but it is not "far superior" to brazing.
@@GGigabiteM No brazing has its place. but welding is far superior.
@@ah11692 You've so far made no case for your position besides ad nauseum drivel. We can assume you have no idea what you're talking about.
yo homie, please do the axle u joints next.
Way ahead of you. Editing front axle video now. Big fan of your first movie by the way
But which type of drill is that and we don't have it in our work shop 😢
What chemical did you use a 9:28?
Bueno
if you don''t mind me asking, what is that solution that made the bolts black?
Probably a cold galvanizing solution
@@isaacjanness7897 thank you man
Dumb question but U werent trying to make it seem like u restored those u joints did u ?
