(Note: This Amazon link is NOT my Yost Made-in-the-USA bench vice seen in the video but it looks to me like it might be one I'd consider since it has indent-pipe-jaws which are better at gripping round objects like axle shafts)

Is there a full video I'm having a hell of a time taking the cups out of mine I have the same axles

[@WorksIRL]

I'll go back in my stored files/clips and see if I've got anything longer. These can be a real bear and I've got my suspicions the "ears" or flanges get "squeezed" closer together reducing any push-through spacing, especially if someone prior to you has maybe replaced u-joint before and maybe they bent the flanges closer than "normal". Wish I could offer better assistance but I'll see if I've got anything showing more...good luck! 💪

How to ruin your screwdrivers... 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@WorksIRL]

Very true, though, with the low-quality screwdrivers we often buy these days, not too big of a loss :-). Actually, they wouldn't stand up to this type of abuse at all but my 7th-grade-made 40+ year-old screwdriver used for this actually has most of the big-branded names beat. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Probably a beater screwdriver. No good tool guy is beating on his nice screwdrivers.
