Awesome video as always. Whenever I work on an older driveshaft with caps that are really stuck I use an acetylene torch and cut the joints apart. The shaft stays relatively cool and then I can knock the caps out directly. Is this a dad way to do it? I learned this as a mechanic 40 years ago working my way through college.
Thank you for making this video. After components are replaces and things are back the way they were, does the whole shaft need to be balanced afterward?
Ideally, yes. But if you mark all the parts before disassembling and then put the shaft back together the same way you may get lucky and not need a re-balance. Only if you still have high speed vibrations after re-build and re-install would we recommend bringing the shaft to a local shop to be balanced.
I'm having issues getting my u joints out of my rear drive shaft. Basically I've done exactly everything on this video. It's still stuck in there. I have pictures if anyone can help??
Hey guys, how do I get the centering ball out of the flange it is housed in? The dust seal came right off but the ball itself isn’t budging. Any advice? @tomwoodscustomdriveshafts7159
In theory it is possible to get the ball and seat out but it is really difficult to do. We have a special expanding collet slide hammer and even with that it is nearly impossible. At least, it is nearly impossible to remove the ball and seat without damaging the socket yoke/flange, especially the seat. So in practice, the best way to replace the centering ball is to replace the entire socket yoke/flange.

That hand/ eye coordination with that hammer is impeccable!! Nice job
Very good but wish he had worked with the old shaft. Thanks
video would be 5 hours long😂
Outstanding Video! Thank you for producing it.
This is a great video, thanks for this! (Insane it only has 700 views!!??)
I know, right?! I guess the RUclips algorithm gods haven't taken notice of it yet.

Great video, thanks.

How do you change a driv e shaft on 2016 Honda pioneer 3 seater
No grease?
Why nit work the usd ine like the rest of us?
How critical are the thickness of the spring clips?
i was thinking same. spicer has atleast 3 different thickness of those
@@Jakedelus Given some thoughts on this, I would think it affects the run out of the tube as it can shift the u joint in one direction or the other.

Heat, beat and if that doesn't work google "Tiger Tool"
Did you ever get them out (new & greenish‘06 ram2500 5.9L owner)?
WD-40 should leave the shop- PB Blaster is 10x better
