how can i know if the u -joint needs to be replaced?. . does it squeaks when u step on it less than 30mph and when u decreased the velocity less than 30mph as well?
@lowriderfan15 yeah. the squeak gets faster as you accelerate. its loud and anoying lol replacing 1 U joint should cost you about $120 and that includes labor. Getting one of mine replaced right now on my 98' Explorer. I've replaced 2 already cause i go mudding so much.
Had this same tool for over a year now.Your video is what made me buy it however,the tool is now ruined after the 3rd use.The C frame bent on it a about 1/4" and now its useless since it can no longer put a bearing cap on straight.
Bad thing about pressing the cap past the yoke is its a pain to get it out and going to far like that can actually bend and scar the ear of the yoke with the cross of the joint i have the same tool but i rarely use it for joints i do the tried and true method of hitting the ear of the yoke with a hammer with a vice or a solid surface resting on the side ears pops it loose without distorting and i reasemble the same way with just a hammer i change alot of joints wheeling and mudracing no prob yet
I just got my tool the other day like yours.I didnt use an impact like you did but the clamp actually puts so much pressure on the u-joint pushing it out,my bearing caps actually exploded and flew across the garage!!LOL! And i was only using a 7/8 wrench to twist the threaded rod.
Good video.I didnt even know they made a tool like this specifically for u jojnts and i was just gonna go out a buy a large shop press too.You just saved me a few hundred bucks.
Are you retarded? IR is not from harbor freight.. Ingersoll Rand is one of the most expensive and best brands you can buy

Agree with kmrjeep about pushing the cap that far, I speak from experience, lol.
You should also put some heavy oil on the forcing screw of your press but keep it out of the dirt.
