Thank you! For this video I didnt want to and just wanted to show how much effort it takes if they arent "easyfied". The other ujoints I have done, have gotten lube
Nice tool, but it was heartbreaking watching you destroy a vintage Craftsman ratchet. Applying that kind of torque always, always, always calls for an impact, or at least a breaker bar.
Why are you using a ratchet and struggling when you could just use an impact? And you didn't push it out crooked.. once it looked crooked it was all the way pushed out, just take the tool off of it and pull the cap off. Lol
If I had an electric impact I surely would have used it. I just thought the air was too loud and I didn't have as much control as I wanted. I had another one start out crooked some how so thats why I wanted to make sure. Turned out my yoke was splayed and I had to replace it
Oiling the threads of the tool help immensely and make it last longer!
When u joints are that rusty I oil them up in advance with motor oil The oil doesn't evaporate like penetrating oil
Thanks for showing it on a rusted one and not a new one. I have this same issue. Thanks for the demo!
Good video.
It will be nice and easy to use some rust penetrants or WD 40 to make the job easier.

Nice to see a mechanic who knows to hit the yoke and not the tool! Great demo!
I have the larger one for big trucks. It is a life saver on the full round joints.
Ha those things are in a really good i’m glad I got mini of those U joint puller‘s
Nice , handy tool!
Anyone ever thought of hitting the joint with some heat to free up the corrosion?
I usually use heat, but the shop with the torch is 20 hours away and I haven't invested in my own set yet. Just one more thing to move every 3 years

How did the u-joint slide when you put the tool on?
With just the ratchet and no lube, It still came. With some heat and a little lube they would have come right out
