axle u joint

[89wheelin]

hey guys. i need to replace my u joint on my axle. whats the best way to take care of it? what all is needed? any help is great. thanks .

Ujoints are really easy to screw up your first time. You might want to have someone local walk you through it. If the cross comes too far out of the cap a roller can drop between the two and you won't know until the snap ring won't fit and the roller is converted to metal dust.
