DustyM Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Folks, What's the consensus on the fastest (easiest?) method to change a Driveshaft UJ (inner one next to the Diff) Do I need to remove the entire drive shaft from the car? Cheers Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi Jon The drive shafts have a sliding joint,so you can unbolt it from the diff,slide it off the rest of the shaft,then renew the UJ and then replace it. Make sure you put alignment marks on the diff and UJ housing,and the sliding bit of the shaft you remove it from,this will help with its balancing. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DustyM Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Excellent, doesn't sound like a bad job then. If its that easy I'll do both sides. Hardy Spicer UJs are on the way. Cheers Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Crawley Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Personally I’d take the drive shafts right out & change all 4; you can also use the opportunity to clean the splined shafts properly & give them a good grease up & check the rubber gaiters . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
