Thanks for this video. It was great to see how you worked through all the road blocks instead of skipping through them like others do. People want to see all you went through to get those u-joints out.

Having a brief clip at the start to demonstrate the noise is a HUGE help. Great idea I wish all repair videos did that. Especially for difficult to describe noises that only happen while driving. This is the exact noise my Silverado is making. Great job guys.

Great point !

It is so refreshing to see a real world example of what a DIYer could experience. So often these videos only give you the perfect world which is completely unrealistic. I also liked the beginning of the video which provided the potential sound. I thought it was helpful to show what you are looking for when checking the u joints and how to hold it so you’re checking it properly. Would anti-seize in the snap ring groove be helpful for the next guy or yourself if you have to do them again? Also, do the snap rings come with the u-joints? That may have been a missed marketing opportunity for 1A AUTO. Thanks guys for making this video.

Great video!! Thanks for the valuable info!! Legend has it that if you apply a little heat with a torch, those rubber seals will melt away and give a much easier time removing the old u joint!

Having the right tools is a must 👆🏾

I feel normal now that saw professionals struggle some. I thought it was only me when things always go sideways when I fix stuff. You make the best videos

Thanks for the video. What this taught me is that I should just get a new driveshaft with the U-joints already installed in it.

This was awesome guy's I really appreciate it. As one would say, knowing is half the battle.

The best video quality ever 😊and best information ever!!!

About to change out both my rear diff and transfer case joints on my 05 Tahoe z71. Kinda nervous about screwing this up but this video helped out a ton! Appreciate videos like these!

I like watching how others donthese jobs and ya got the job done! I've learned cleaning up all the rust first, either with a wire brush or wire wheel, then applying rust penitrent makes a big difference.

WOW guys you show all the hard stuff! Which is the REAL World pain (ITA) of doing this job!

This is a great video on how not to change a u joint. Lol so many no nos done on here.

Hi sir Andrew and sir Andy. Thank you so much for your instructional video. It help us as a technician for future endeavors. Hope to see more videos of yours most especially gm mechanical issues. Thanks a lot and more power to you...

Great job. Thanks for not editing out where we curse and throw wrenches.

Take a screw driver and tap the snap ring to get it to move. Or take socket that fits the size of the cap on u joint and smack the clip to loosen up. This video hurt to watch.

I am def not a mechanic. But, all i could think of during the snap ring portion was a small flat head screwdriver

love your videos, always show and explain so well, thank you.

Pounding on the driveshaft with a socket is a disaster waiting to happen, bent ears, closing the grooves for the clips, you are replacing the u joint, pound on it. And enough with the rust penetrant already.

Umm. No it's not. That's a GREAT way to do it. It fits the outer part of the cap which is where it's the strongest. That's the only thing that didnt drive me crazy about this video lol

What can I say it's a hard life sometimes. I normally take a big hammer and beat the hell out of everything under there before I start. I don't know if it helps but it makes me feel better. Thanks for the video. You boy's are great.

Get some heat on those, and it would really help.

My weekend project. Dealer wants an arm and a leg.

Ball joint Press, excellent method for closing the ears on the driveshaft

I need your address so I can send you a couple flat head screw drivers. Geesh. Makes prying the snap rings out WAY easier when you use it as a wedge

Thanks for recording this.

I accidentally put the driveshaft backwards on my 2012 4wd Tahoe put yoke in the wrong side but honestly it looks identical on Both sides of the driveshaft will that be an issue or is that fine because it looks identical on both sides?

I just purchased the U-joints from yall. Besides the vise. Is it possible to list the size of the sockets used to tap out and tap in the universal joints?

If anyone is curious it is not as difficult as these dudes makes it look.

Depending on the circumstances. In this case the u joint was very rusty and seized inside the drive shaft.

Something I forgot to do when I did mine (2003 Trailblazer) was to install the inside lock ring on the U joint caps that get bolted into the rear end yoke. I had my driveshaft come lose because a cap came off while driving on the highway. Not A good thing to forget.

OK I changed my u joints on the back side. And I still gave that sound.

Great video! What is the part numbers of two U-joints?

Perfect. Could not of done it nor explained it better my self.

OMG!!! How long were those things in there? Was this a salvage from the sea? I'm 54 & if I ever let one of my rides get to that point please come save me from the brothel because the madame has taking me hostage! Great lesson gentlemen!

Put anti-seize where the caps are going to be sitting that way next time won't be so dang hard to get off😁

Well, I Cosme here needing to maybe replace my u joint, but after seeing the struggle. Maybe I really don’t need too after all. I had a rough time removing the old transfer case seal and installing the new one. Sheesh took me too days and felt like the struggle I had was shown in this video... but if I end up doing it, I’ll use this video as a guide, thanks

Dear In GMC Sierra 2006 truck different u joint 2 the same and the front small do you now the u joint size or number Thank you

Correct me if I’m wrong but the universal joints that have the clips on the inside must have the bearing caps push from the inside out, they cannot be driven in with the press or hammer or they will damage the bores??

Hello, do you grease the drive shaft splines? When I installed my drive shaft with new u-joints I get a clunk when I put it in reverse. Before I cleaned inside the splines and did not think of greasing inside.

I put anti seize in the retainer clip grooves.

Perfect example of 10 minute job turned into a 2 hour job

Torch and wire wheel baby let’s go

My 2006 Mazda BT 50 driveshaft has a carrier bearing in the centre, which makes it very long. I will be replacing the U joints by myself. One good thing it has no rust.

Does it matter which side the grease fitting is positioned on rear axle u joint. Is it ideal to be positioned to front or back?

Thanks for this.

When my drive shaft fell from rear end while driving 80 mph. I had transmission fluid pouring out. What would cause that to happen?

Would a hard, loud clunk every time I accelerate be the cause of a u joint failing?

Are those serviceable parts worth investing into? Looking to swap my on my Silverado . Looking for some better longevity

Nice tutorial 👍

Hello my friend Why not use the special tools?

I don’t get the squeak on my 2007 Tahoe. I hear a click/knock from the rear when slowing down. It slows down as I slow down. Don’t hear it during acceleration. I’ve had rear calipers clacking before on a different car…kinda sounds like that. Think it’s a u-joint?

Is it acceptable to use some heat on this being that the old joints needed replacement anyway?

I only did the rear u joints. Front is good.

Great video guys. Helped me out a lot. Thank you.

Question I just installed a transmission on my Yukon 2008 the transmission I bought used came off of a 2007 avalanche but the drive shaft from my Yukon seems a bit short if I try bolting it on it won’t spin on the transmission side when i unbolt it and push it in further into the transmission it spins any idea how I can fix this issue

I wonder if heating it up with a propane torch would help a little when taking them apart.

Awesome video! Question, do u joints typically start leaking fluid when they’re real bad? Looks red to me, so I’m assuming it’s tranny fluid. Noticed a good amount of fluid on the bottom of my truck, didn’t know if that’s normal or if there is something else that is wrong?

@JamesSmith-ho7kg

Mike. No fluids, just the grease liquefying from friction heat and seeping out. If your seeing tranny fluid you got a leak from the output shaft.

Why you keep using pick to clean out the side already out? Use the punch and knock tangs out of groove.

I am so glad I was having the shop do it but they did last 250,000 miles

hello, I'm trying to find a link the part. Can you guys provide that? thanks for your help.

I had to use cold spray to freeze the caps to get them out of my u joint, after the penetrating oil. Cold spray is safer then using a torch under a vehicle. I couldn't release my shaft from the differential, and I have an aluminum drive shaft, so I didn't want to pry on it.

Are the front and rear joints same size or is the front different from rear

Someone explain to the captioning AI the difference between vise and vice

Would it be a somewhat similar procedure with an 04 Avalanche 1500?

Y como cambias el yugo del cardan trasero

This happens when you tell the office boys to make a tutorial about something instead of real mechanics.

Phelps Definitely wouldn't want these guys working on my ride, LOL the guy with the punch had that last cap bound up from repeatedly hitting the cap on one side, he wasn't even paying attention to what was going on 😆 one hit on the opposite side of cap would have released the cap. I guess if you work for a shop, time is no concern at 150 plus an hour and parts can a good thing for the bottom line 😆

You would think that because they're showing this on TV and ita a shop, that they would have had a machine press to just press that U-joint out instead of hitting it with a sledgehammer

I like how they skip the parts where they’re heating it up

Gm has special plastic inside the driveshaft that keep the joints from falling out. No wonder it was so hard to take out the caps cause they didn’t melt them

External clips. No plastic. Internal clips have the plastic. Still, these guys didn't inspire confidence in their abilities. Normally they are pretty decent.

When did you grease the U Joints?

Mine started to leak transmission fluid when I pulled the slip yoke. Is that normal?

i just buy the whole thing

Can find u joints on th 1a auto site?
