i have been running some jantz/yukon super joints for about a yr. maybe 6 wheelin trips on them.
i was going on a trip tommorow and i saw one of the joints had the copper grease around the joint. i clened it off and regreased (no noticable leakage while greasing). took for a test drive and i could see where some had oozed out....
looks like one of the orings between the cap and cross has gone bad. can i wheel on this tommorow or should i swap in a spare shaft?
also is it possible to rebuild/dissasemble the joint without messing it up? it was a PITA putting it together due to the huge cross and the alloys... anyone taken one apart before off a ujoint? tips....
also on the opposite side i think i saw a small fatigue crack on a superior alloy ear....
