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......

@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
