Wease Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 They also have to be open tomorrow, as in Sunday. I'm striking out here. I live up in Delaware/Powell, so anything up here would be good. The CarQuest in downtown Delaware will do it, but they aren't open until Monday. I can do it then, I would rather do it tomorrow if I can. Anyone know of a place open on Sunday that can do that for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I always have the Napa machine shop off of 33 do mine, but that's not close to you at all. They've always done good work for me. Not open on Sunday either. If you have a bench vise, you can do it yourself. Not the funnest job (which is why I normally just pay the $6 to have NAPA do it and avoid the hassle).

Tractor Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I always use craftman sockets and a hugh hammer. Then when you take them back to sears there like WTF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have had a few people tell me to do that and a vice. It should work, so I'll try that tomorrow and see what happens... smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Just heat the yoke with a blow torch and it should slip right together with the vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 +1 on the socket and vise, some of the u-joints we replace at work say to do that right in the instructions, really easy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 The sockets work, but on my toy pickup your lucky if you can do it in under 2 hours on the stock ones. I learned that toyota used an epoxy to secure them at the factory and using a torch to burn it away first makes it alot easier. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
