replacing front driveshaft ujoints

Factory u-joints are held in the yoke by a plastic/resin that was injected upon assembly instead of simply putting a standard clip in there. Get ahold of a torch of some kind and gently heat the yokes to melt the plastic; it should come oozing out without much trouble. After that simply remove the u-joint caps as usual, clean the bores and install the new stuff. The yoke has a groove for the new snap ring.

Those pins that go into the ujoint is actually just a plastic ring that goes around the ujoint to hold it in place.. take a torch and heat up around the cap.. you'll know when you get it all out, it'll be like popping a big *** pimple, if you got a buddy with a cutting torch I would suggest using that cause it gets hotter and will melt it faster... Once you have the plastic melted around all the caps wait till it is cooled down so you bend the yokes and start pounding till it comes apart.. if you don't melt the plastic itll be a pita to get out. Good luck have fun and
