How To Replace U-Joints 2 Ways

I needed to swap over the yolk from one driveshaft to another. In the process I replaced the U-joint. Since there's more than one way to do this, I decided to show both methods of U-joint replacement I'm aware of. I'm sure there are other ways, but I believe these to be the most popular.

Either way, it's a fairly simple and straightforward process. The difficulties come in with the different types of fasteners used. The wax ones can be a pain, but a little time with a propane torch and they should come out fine. The thing is to spot those plastic retainers before you start.

Good luck!
