Miller Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Do any of you guys know where I can get the joints replaced on my buddies 5.0? Or would anyone like to do the task for a few bucks/beer. I'll remove the shaft and bring it over. Shmuck? Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 its not hard... remove the ring. grab a socket and a hammer and you can nock them out... then slide the new one in and out the ring on it... about a 10 min job... Just dont loose any needle bearings.. Im sure there is a youtube video that will show you how to do it if you need a visual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I guess if it's only ten minutes I'll just do it for him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 ya not hard. just take the holding rongs off each end. nock it out of the yoke. put new bearing in there and put the new rings on. It will only give you a problem if you knock the end cap off and loose any needle bearings inside of the joint or if it is rusted up and wont come free from the yoke.. but its pretty easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 The socket trick usually works fine, but if not you can probably borrow a ball joint/UJoint press from a parts store. They're particularly nice to have if the caps are rusted or just being stubborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
