  • Be careful. And never smoke U joints

  • I agree with the Alaskaman, Nate is doing the work and going through the effort of being helpful. I do not agree with Nate's use of sockets and extension bars as driving tools. I also do not agree with Nate's constant mantra of "Proper Service Procedure". Overall, I am most impressed by the proactivity of Nate to record, upload and share. Now that, is demonstrating Leadership.

  • @VinnyMartello Hope you didn't take too much metal off, could throw off the balence

  • why the hell is using a claw hammer not a ball pine

  • Thanks bro

  • I'm having issues getting my caps off right now as we speak.The S.O.B. wont come off! how in gods name do they come off? it doesnt make sense to keep pounding them forward when they cant go any more forward! i dont understand the concept of that lol.yeah,i need help.

  • Excellent video, well done. I would offer the PSA that using a socket as a driving tool will eventually damage the socket, especially when used with an extension in it. If you don't have a press and absolutely must use a socket, do so without the extension bar so the internal partition of the socket is not stressed.

  • Nice thank you

  • i have a question i am hearing some weird popping noise from my rear end and im driveing a lifted chevy truck and when i get underneath the ubolts are tight and have been torqued, i even bought 70dollar ones the 5/8s bolts to really hold it down back therebut still hearing it when i turn slowly or drive through a parking lot at slow speeds also upon inspection i saw two of the bolts on the universal joint are scraping against the drive shaft, there are 4bolts and only 2 do it what causes this

  • Great job. Just the way I do it. The hardest part is keeping the needle bearings clean and upright. If you have good hands and move quickly you might get it done!

  • He does make good videos. just that introduction is funny in my opinion. =) Happy days

  • In this video!!! I am a robot. I am here to take over the world and make you my slave!!!!
