You took the clips off ,right?

 

Haha yeah I took the clips off, little C clips.

 

okay these u-joints are really pissing me off, they will not budge no matter what I do, I used a pitman arm puller and got one side out but the rest are not moving what so ever, bent the pitman arm puller trying the other sides. Might have to take it to a shop to get them out

 

Got a vise?



Lay it on the jaws like so.



Tap it here to drive the cap up, about half way,
Then flip it over, drive the next one out.

 

Sad thing is i dont have a vice, wish i did!

 

Although i do have some wood that I could use to act like it

 

Winner winner, chicken dinner !

 

Well that idea didn't work, I'll see about renting a u-joint tool from Kragen

 

or pay a shop like $25 to do both in like 5 minutes lol.

 

thinking about taking it to the shop where I bought the axle and seeing if they could remove the u-joints and the pinion since those are giving me headaches hopefully they will do it for cheap maybe free since I bought the axle from them
