  • white out works better

  • hahaha doesnt always slide out so easy, me and 2 friends had to cuss and coax it out of place, and then had to use a 2x4 and a hammer to get it back in

  • Thanks for the video dude. A claw hammer, sometimes that is all we have but a dead blow will do less damages. if you strike the u-joint cap with the hammer you can cause the metal to bend and after the new cap is in there cause premature failure of the next joint. We might never really know this is happening but its just a word of caution - occasionally a 3#er is all that will take things apart though......

  • the truck has Michigan tags...Snow = salt on the roads = rust. Awesome timing for these videos. Repairing the u joint in my explorer right now! Thanks!

  • A frikken claw hammer.

  • thats alot of rust, my rigs have over 200,000 miles and zero rust even with our 100 inches of rain per year. not sure how that got so rusty? raining acid where you live?

  • @lep1950 I ASSUME IT WOULD BE HIT OR MISS, ATTATCH IT THEN KEEP REMOVING AND ROTATING IT OVER A HOLE EACH TIME CLOCKWISE TILL U FIND THE RIGHT ARRANGEMENT... MOST I CAN FIGURE

  • @jeepers2655

    welcome to any area of the world with snow! my 2001 truck doesn't look much better

  • what a rust bucket under there!

  • Good video thanks!
