Hi,

One tip, do not use hydraulic press to remove/insert the u-joint.
You may ruin the axle shaft by doing so - I ruined mine that way :-(

hi saar,, i used the old socket hammer trick.....

hi saar,, i used the old socket hammer trip.....

That is the right way to do it.

I tried to do it with a press.... had to replace the axle shaft after that....

Just make sure the joint moves freely when done. Sometimes they can be too tight. If so, whack the ears a little with a hammer to move them out a little and you will be OK
