U-Joints

Recommended Posts

Gents,

Today after a ride that had vibration between 25-30mph, I pulled into the garage and chaulked my wheel, and released my emergency brake.

I then crawled under my 1948 Chrysler Royal and shook the Universal Joint.

It had excessive play.

It was then that I saw a loose Retainer Clip in my front U-Joint give way/fall out.

I know this is going to sound ignorant, but how do you take out the U-Joints,

and replace them?

I read that one removes the rear one first, then drop the Universal Shaft, then remove the front one other than that I am at a loss as to how, and where to start. Andy B has them for $79 a pop. Should I replace the Pinion Seal while I'm into it also?
