VampireJeep said:Is there a "HARBOR FREIGHT" anywhere near where you live? If so then go there and you can purchase a multitool that does both U-joints and ball joints. It is an aluminum C clamp with all the spacers and such needed to do the job.
Zoro said:So I CAN do the U-Joints w/o needing the 36mm socket?
Jeep914x4 said:I think it would be tough to do the axleshaft u-joints without the socket. I don't see how it's possible. If it is, it would be a lot of hassle. However, you will need it to do the balljoints.
XJ_ranger said:no you dont...
you only need the 36mm socket to remove a uint bearing from a stub shaft... the whole thing can slide out in one piece - with the unit bearing attached - if you're only doing ball joints...
Hell - even if i were to replace my axle u-joints id leave the unit bearing attached...
