Unless they are rusted as bad as mine were and needed an impact gun and ball joint press to pop them out! :wink:

Yeah, mine were a total nightmare to change too. I guess the people who think it's easy got really lucky. We ended up cutting mine out with a torch...we were going to break the vise trying to push them out. :shock:

Maybe I'll let the guy with the giant pickups and broncos in his lot do it for me.

That's standard practice and tools for any u-joint I replace

So, got an estimate and it should be ready by tomorrow afternoon. Both u-joints on the drive shaft (I think)

Though Im sure I could do it myself, but for my lack of free time and know how, 120 bux to fix the Jeep... priceless.

Side note, does anyone think driving i reverse for a total of 10 minutes is that harmful to the truck?

Ok. Go.
