An old man helped me do brake drums in my first truck, a 78 C10. "One day your hands will hurt from the time you wake till the time you sleep. Please stop hitting tools with your palms". It's cool, do it how you like, just trying to make our wrenching days last as long as we can 🤘 Dead blow hammer for the win.
very helpful and informative.....will use immediatley as my u joint destroyed hub bearing and bent caliper bracket,,,,,your video is just what people need,,,,simple straightforward advice and examples....thanks a million
Nice video you did a good job hitting all the specifics. I would just add/recomend to grease the inner axle spline on the endas it helps not tearing the seal. The long side is a pitas to keep level. One other item would be use anti seize liberally on the bolts/unit bearing especially if in the rust belt. You will thank yourself later👍
Well done. Great editing and very informative. Thanks for the explanation about the mid-year change in 2012 and the measurements. Just what I needed and couldn't find anywhere else.
Good video ill be checking mine axel shaft i been getting some knocks on when i turn to the left on my driver side and have not been able to see what it is . Now i have an idea or it could be thanks man.
Thank you for taking the time to show this process in such great detail. Videos like yours are indispensable
Thank you. It’s a tricky balance between video length and capturing the challenges and various solutions based on tools on hand.

Thanks for the feedback and tips. Anti seize is a must around here.
Great video, thanks! I like how dirty your Jeep is, so many videos have unreasonably clean Jeeps...
Thanks! Half the fun is using them. :)
I would like to see it done on a rusty Jeep.
Which part? I’ve done this a few times now, and usually removing the unit bearing is the biggest headache.
Great step by step description of the job. You make it look so easy. Well done Eric.

Information is helpful

Thank you and good luck finding the source of your noise.
Great video
What did you do after pulling out the guide pin? Did you put it back into the axle or put it onto the groves shaft?
Approx where in the video? Not sure what guide pin you’re referencing.
@@EricCantinsorry my bad, the part where you said you hit a snag. Guide sleeve
Ahh yes, axle guide sleeves. I hope input them back on the axle. Helps center the axle into the inner seal.
Nice video, do you recommend using MOOG 489 or SPICER 5-7166X for these ujoints?
I’ve had good experiences with the Spicer joints. Those are still going strong since install.
I cant find at local store in Canada. Options are Moog or SKF
I’d go SKF over Moog.
Mine pops like that but only in 4x4
10:52 Careful mate you almost hit me!
Sorry! Hope you moved in time!
were the new uni joints sealed type and if so did you add more grease into the caps ?
Yes, these are sealed units. Some people add some, I didn’t remove much so didn’t add any.
Everything you say sounds like a question?
