TR Paul Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hi Chaps, I was reading posts on the forum a couple of years ago, regarding propshafts, drive shafts, & UJs, etc. Somebody had recomended a tool which made extracting UJs quite straight forward, which is something I'd be interested in purchasing. However, after much searching on the forum, I can't find it anywhere; does anyone have any ideas...? Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Yes I bought one earlier in the year, worked well removing the uj's still tricky putting them back in and lining it up OK though. I can post a link when I find where I got it from. Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR Paul Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Thanks Darren, that'd be great. Best wishes, Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Here you go. Sorry just spotted it's not available. You should be able to find something similar though.

harlequin Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 I picked up one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/cowlboy-Pullers-Universal-U-Joint-Puller/dp/B07VL11YPQ/ref=sr_1_199?dchild=1&keywords=Universal+joint+press&qid=1631999079&sr=8-199 It's a well made bit of kit but unfortunately is just a bit to big for the joints on a TR. I have been on the lookout for a smaller version but no luck so far George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 There is a smaller one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Artudatech-Automotive-Universal-Bearing-Installer/dp/B08GY1M4DG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=10105+U-Joint+Puller&qid=1632000915&sr=8-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 With this tool you can't press the caps in? My recommendation is to buy a 1 or 2 to lever press (arbor press) instead. If you own one yor will see for how much different jobs this will be very usefull. With the uj tool you can only do one single thing, and this not even for all sizes of u joints Ciao, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) To press them in the second "tiger tool" could be used, which you can buy in a set. Or a lever press.....no hammer, please Edited September 19, 2021 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Pope Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I use this https://www.powertoolsdirect.com/clarke-csa10bb-10-tonne-hydraulic-bench-press-without-kit?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI153znu6N8wIVhu3tCh0XMAxbEAQYAyABEgJNCvD_BwE One of the most useful tools I have even though it is expensive and I use it for loads of things. Just take care on alignment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris59 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) A vice and old sockets do the job since several decades for me. Edited September 20, 2021 by Chris59 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
