Tool Lets Them Remove U-Joints Without Having To Take Driveshaft Out

Tool Lets Them Remove U-Joints Without Having To Take Driveshaft Out FARM SHOP Tools 25-6-39 Michael Vanhorn, Sentinel Butte, N. Dak.: "When the U-joints on our 1983 Ford F-250 4-WD pickup went out, we made a tool that lets us remove the U-joints without having to take the driveshaft out. We just slide the tool in there, take the U-joints off, and push the new ones in. The tool consists of two flat metal plates that are 2 1/2 in. wide by 5 in. long, with a nut welded into the center of it. We simply tighten up a bolt inside the nut in order to push the U-joint out. Then we turn the tool around and push the new one back in."
