    Awesome channel, I love the attention to detail. I’m looking at a 2500 that needs Ujoints. Thanks for sharing

    Great video. This answers so many questions, but I have one. What is the correct name of that C-clamp pressing tool?

      The large c-frame I used was in my otc ball joint service set: www.jegs.com/i/OTC+Tools/717/8031/10002/-1?gclid=CjwKCAiAgbiQBhAHEiwAuQ6BkizroRq5NeAtPl0dfMyw0NZoksj8ud_gcgyL07yCUU8b2zmnCv9H6hoCekwQAvD_BwE

    Could you recommend a u-joint that would be just as good or better than that MOPAR part?

      @@raincitywrench117 10-4, brother. I was looking more for a specific part number, because I agree that MOOG, Spicer, and NAPA tend to have some of the best u-joints. I was just having an influx of information that just didn't match each other. But I called the auto parts store today and got it figured out. Thanks again!

    Is this possible while on the vehicle? My bolts are badly seized and heat won’t seem to do the trick.

    • @raincitywrench117
      @raincitywrench117  Рік тому

      Unfortunately no way on the front u-joints. I would soak the bolts in brake fluid or sea foam deep creep. Let sit overnight and try heat again. Keep trying that and pray they break free.

    Are all clips on the inside now?

    • @raincitywrench117
      @raincitywrench117  4 роки тому

      Not all. The rear driveline on this pickup has clips that fit into grooves in the yoke on the outside of the cups. I remember back in the 90's, GM u-joints were held in by fiberglass injected at the factory. To remove and replace the joints, had to heat the yoke with a torch until the fiberglass or whatever material it was would ooze out this small hole in the end of yoke and then smack it with a hammer to dislodge the cups. The new replacement would have regular inside clips.

    Yeah, it definitely would have been helpful to watch you take it out. That's the main reason I came to this channel. Word of advice, don't do anything half ass. You want to show somebody how to do it, show them how to remove it and then show them how to install it.

    • @raincitywrench117
      @raincitywrench117  2 роки тому

      Oops, sorry. This is the tool you want to use, make sure you measure your cups before ordering to get the correct one plus use some heat so it won't bend the yoke ears out:www.amazon.com/Lisle-42890-U-Joint-Pullers-Small/dp/B08JZCYZK6/ref=sr_1_1?gclid=CjwKCAiA78aNBhAlEiwA7B76p1Vs182m7p-T6gDWBpZa1JqM2MZiKEIJsskCzt3smbQT9H8a6_9OIBoCbH4QAvD_BwE&hvadid=496337421049&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9033382&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6416329425009744276&hvtargid=kwd-1179471582403&hydadcr=28544_10017591&keywords=lisle%2Bu%2Bjoint%2Bpuller&qid=1639108302&sr=8-1&th=1

      @@victornaja-paz5241 Definitely don't hammer on the outside of the yoke, it could set the driveline off balance. I would try a different brand u-joint first, then double check application to make sure you have the right part. If all that fails you may be able to apply threadlock press fit repair compound to the u-joint cups, let it set up overnight and should be good. I used that to repair a differential bearing race that would spin in the casting. It sets up like steel.
