I am at my wit's end. I am attempting to change the axle u-joint on a Dana 30 in my '96, and it's a nightmare. Heck, pulling the hub was child's play, and I had the axle out in well under a half hour. But this u-joint is something else. It is a factory original one with 160,000 miles on it.
I soaked all the c-clips in Kroil, and the two on the inner axle section came right off with a few taps of a hammer on a straight screwdriver. I cannot for the life off me get the two on the outer axle section to budge. I can't seem to get a good solid hit with the axle dust shield in the way. If I can get these last two c-clips off, I can remove this danged u-joint from the axle sections. Any suggestions?
