Datsun 280Z non replaceable staked drive shaft u joint replacement

[@robertarthurs328]

Yes I've used the ball joint tool before for others , works well

[@dustinclark6338]

Yeah, I said strut compressor tool in the video, but meant to say ball joint press tool

[@robertarthurs328]

@dustinclark6338 If it's any consolation I recognized what I was looking at and ignored what you were saying lol. By ignoring I mean I didn't hear a word. You could have gotten away with it lol

[@edcarraway737]

Did the same thing on mine about 6 years and 15k miles ago. No issues.

[@robertarthurs328]

Another option is have your favorite driveline people change out the yoke/flange or build a new shaft period

I drove around a 280zx in the 80s 5 speed manual it ran like a scalded dog. Eventually crashed it on Mt baldy. It was my dads car.😬

[@kevinbates3575]

Let me know how it drives. I just ordered the front yoke cause the oil seal wore a groove in it I am looking to rebuild the shaft in the process of installing it.

[@robertarthurs328]

Or machine grooves in the caps

Datson spec on this is already max out you know what i mean, taking material off is not wises lol

[@dustinclark6338]

I didn’t have to take it down much. Just the thickness of the c-clips
