driveshaft install

[thompson97]

am i gonna need any special tools to install my new tom woods driveshaft? i'm planning on doing the install tomorrow... just got done with a ford 8.8 rear:D . i'm learning as i go, so tomorrow will be my first experience with u-joints, driveshafts, etc.

i have the spicer flange adapter on the 8.8, this is really where i'm unsure (the front looks like it simply bolts on), how do i press the u-joints in the spicer flange adapter without any damage? i'm probably over-complicating this, but i wanted to be sure. thanks

Not familiar with spicer flang adapter. However I just put a Tom Wood's drive shaft in my 97 with an 8.25 and it was very simple less then 10 minutes. There was no need for pressing.
Good Luck

Tom should ship the flange already pressed on the u-joint. All you should need is wrenches to install.
