I have so much more respect for you in that you did not scrap the entire video but instead showed us we are not the only ones who mess up.
Most criticizim will come from arm chair mechanics who never got grease on their hands. Thirty plus years doing the work in all types of conditions has taught me that you use what works to get the job done. This is a realistic video of how a good many excellent mechanics really get the job done. Keep up the good work, and please keep the videos coming.

I'm glad I don't live where they dump salt on the roads all winter. Those little clips can be a pain in the ass even if they aren't rusted to oblivion. I think if you have never had a problem replacing a u-joint, then you haven't done very many u-joints in your life.
Yup. Them damn things are a pain in the ass. I need my axle gone through and I'm tired of doing it myself. It goes in Monday for someone else to deal with it.
Adjustable wrench as a throwback on the bolt and an electric impact on the nut ready to roll
This is the crap that happens to all of us when we work at home. It's real and unedited and I can totally appreciate it. I've done many u-joints with just a hammer and sockets without even a vice to help. I haven't done one like that one but that tone ring in the way has to add an extra challenge that someone who hasn't done one doesn't really understand.
The only mechanics that don't screw up are the ones who never touch a dam thing. Keep the videos coming Paul no matter how they turn out. Working and improvising is what it's all about. Thinking on your feet.
Your not afraid to show the frustrations of a job gone bad. I respect that Paul.
Man i felt your pain every step of the way. I have done several of those joints and are always a PIA. After many years of wrenching i still break stuff every so often and i beat myself up then i take a deep breath and move on.
Thanks for the effort to record this and to show DIYs how to replace a U -Joint and what can go wrong.
Thanks brother
Good thing you're not a "Parts Changer"... You would starve!!! Still a top shelf Diagnostician!!!!! Love your videos!!!!
I will never criticize a man for keeping it real! Loved the video. Profanity has it's place.
I took an old screwdriver, cut a slit down the center of the handle and cut the shank. Put it in a cordless screw gun...use it mostly on king pin axles. Napa sells special sanding bits for a die grinder but they can be used in a cordless screw gun as well. To this day, I'm surprised you don't have any videos on Airbag systems Paul. Thanks for investing so much time into this channel Paul. We all appreciate it.
i love these videos. normally you get to see dan working in a classroom with all the correct tools and procedures. then he does this. and its so funny. but makes it more true.
Man it's great to see real world maintenance where everything just doesn't slip together. Being a mechanic my entire life many a wrench went sailing.
Paul it happens to us all. Shit happens
Next time you have to change a U Joint put the caps in the freezer for a few hours. One it holds the needle rollers in better because the grease is cold and and 2 you can press the caps in with your fingers because they shrink when cold.
Wish I had read this a few hours ago. The needle bearings kept dropping into the cup. Total nightmare.
Paul I love it man. Shows that no matter how good you are, some jobs will simply kick your butt. Happens to the best of us brother.
This is how some of these jobs go sometime. Thanks for showing your struggle and mistakes. We've all been through that. Those 3 min vids that " show " how easy this job goes are worthless. Respect Paul!
Danner, don't be so hard on yourself, it happens. I'm sure you will find the part and make it right when you fix the abs problem. On that plastic debris shield, if both the pins are still okay you could try heating either the end of the pin or the hole it fits in with a soldering iron, just enough to expand the plastic a little, to get a tight fit. Or if that fails or if the pins are broke drill out where the pins were and just use small nuts and bolts with loctite to hold the halves together. I wish you good luck with your repairs on the Jeep. I enjoy watching your videos even when you make mistakes and we all make mistakes. So never let bad comments get to you, I'm sure the people making these bad comments have made way bigger mistakes than this.
I agree that stuff like this happens to everyone no matter how experienced you are. And it is good to show people that these types of jobs don't always go easy. I give you a lot of credit for posting this video since it would be real easy to edit out the mistakes. Chris
I work at an Audi dealer in Germany and we use a sand blasting cabinet for things like that to clean parts up first, just makes it a little easier. After sand blasting (if time permits) I soak the axle up in WD-40 or equivalent for a while. If that doesn't help, I heat it up with a torch... Buuuuuuuuut not everybody has this kind of equipment at home in their garage so I guess this is a very realistic "backyard mechanic repair". I love your videos, keep making them!
It's fun to watch a real pro working with backyard tools, like many of us do every day. Most of the time it's amazing how the extra experience shows through, even with suboptimal equipment.
If you don't make a mistake or an error on occasion, then , your not doing anything! This is a learning process, learn from mistakes. Patience is a virtue, bro. Next time, just drop the shaft off at Island Spring and Driveshaft on 51,and pick it up after work, lol. Great video, great job... you da man, bro!!
Even though it was almost painful to watch, I give this video a big thumbs up for one simple reason, YOU'RE HONEST!!!! Anyone else probably would not have posted such a video or hid all their mistakes. We need more good guys. Keep up the awesome work you are doing here Paul
haha I'll take it! I definitely realized this is not my area of expertise anymore and NOT the type of videos I'll do much of. Just when I want the tax write off for the parts I'm buying :-)
Knock the cup in and then take the snap ring out then do the other side the same way. When you install the new joint push the cups in until they bottom out in the cross , install the clips and then tap on the cross to push the cup outboard until the lock clip seats. When you get done it should be free in all directions with no binding. It was enjoyable watching and everyone has broke a part at one time or another :D
IM SORRY BUT THIS IS COMICAL!! THIS IS HOW I STRUGGLE WITH DIAGNOSING THINGS AND YOU MAKE IT LOOK SOOO EASY and this stuff is my bread and butter....
I'm getting better at drivability been studying with scanner danner for couple years but yes I am in same boat my actual mechanical ability probably trumps my troubleshooting skills but I am getting better lol it was a motivator to see a master struggle a little lol but we all do sometime lol
chiefeaglebear I am waiting for the corner of his bench to break off. LOL
Matt Sinna lol I was watching that sucker bend too!
hey man, I just have to say thank you for posting this. as somebody that is just getting my feet wet in auto repair, when something goes sideways I always think if I had your tools or experience I could do anything. this video proves not everything goes right all the time, even for the masters. so thank you again I actually watched the whole video.
i often find it more enjoyable to get a job done with lesser tools just to know I can still get it done! I've went to other shops to fix cars and used their tools, it makes me grateful for what I have at my shop..
He, that's is a very practical situation! Not every body has a completely stock toolbox at home.
My first Ball Joint Press was Harbor Freight Tool. It was a BEAST that served me well, and I even ordered the master adapter set when I started this garage. Snap On stayed on my back until I bought his BJP1 with the extra adapter set. He sold my HF unit for more than I paid for it so no harm no foul I guess. I don't think the Snap On works any better though.
Thanks for keeping it real and doing it like what a lot of us without nice shops and tools would have to do it.
I like the job you performed, man. Do not worry, that happens to every mechanic. I want to say that you are a super honest professional instructor, thank you. Also, I would like to thank you again because I learned new things with your awesome video.
God bless you, God bless your work.
As a new backyard DIYer, the vid was invaluable, I am glad I actually bought a 4WD ball joint thingie, as I didn'nt know that you could use it to replace universal joints. Thanks a mil Dan, once again... sometime I am sure I will meet you.
Take care and keep safe, God bless, yet again, hooroo (aussie for bye) for now.
Lol I got so much grief for this video and rightly so. I'm the electronic guy and I was reminded of that in this video. But I'm glad showing my failures along the way helped you.
Please don’t be hard on yourself, We all make mistakes We have definitely all been there that was still a very informative video and I thank you for it
yeah, I won't be doing to many more of this type of video, that's for sure lol, I just never did a lot of under car work, I've always been the driveability guy
If you never fail you'll never know the feeling of success.to those of you with any negativity,we have all been here ..... great job Paul ....I wish I could be cool headed like you ...thank you keep these videos coming
Thanks Danner this worked great for me. Thank you! I couldn't have done it without watching. I actually took out the u-joints and drive shaft on both sides just leaving just the end that goes thru the bearing and re-attaching the nut. This turned my vehicle into a 2wd. I did this because my entire front axle needed new bearings and seals. I took out the drive line from the transfer case to the front axle also...and drained the differential. Maybe at some point if work slows down I'll rebuild the whole thing.
Dan dan the honest man
I would have been throwing tools all over and even out of the cot
Then drinking lots of beer and blaming my wife for all my problems
Well done for being honest it is a rare thing these days that's why I very
Much like your videos keep up the great work
Honestly though. Stuff like this makes me feel better about my own struggles. If you're just starting out a day like this will make you think you can't work on cars. Well, guess what, even experienced pros get hassled by a U joint. It's not just you. So I appreciate seeing the bad days, even if you'd rather we didn't see 'em.
those damn C clips!! the struggle is real, my friend. I live in Buffalo ny. so I'm well versed in salty parts.
Thanks for keep filming when things go wrong we appreciate your work
Bigger vise would help for holding, soak with spray from the beginning >keeping the caps in the center of the vise jaws< helps in starting the caps straight as the vise jaws will go off center on either side, but nothing really makes it "easy"-lol I used to do u-joints all the time with sockets and a drilling sledge back when I was young, but I never had to contend with a tone ring, what a PITA, I so sympathize.
A year ago (maybe a little longer) I changed the Axle joints on my '96 XJ.
They were squeaking at full lock, with front axle disengaged. With the axle engaged I was getting popping, clicking and steering wheel "Hop" (for lack of a better term).
Not the most fun experience doing them in my garage due to their age, mileage, and weather at the time, but I got them done nonetheless. I used the beat it with a BFH technique as they would not come out using the Vise method. I don't have ABS, so I have the dust shields, which will get damaged in the process, but nothing a metal work can't fix.
There is a major boost in pride in ones vehicle and ones abilities when you conquer something like this.
i'm not sure how you got thru this video without any cursing! I feel your pain on this one Paul. RIP old crispy Jeep
the beauty of editing my friend
Cool to see you doing a mechanical video with now scan tools or test lights involved.
I felt so bad for you when I saw the tone ring snap. I have been there a few times myself. Working so hard to get the job right and something just go wrong. But in the end you at least got the vehicle back up and running. I can always fix the ABS later. Great job and a good video keep it up Danner
Thanks for the video, Nice to see you have to do a job like most of us that watch you channel. Sometimes even paying attention things can get expensive. I had to replace the whole steering box on my S-10 when changing the pitman arm. it bound up using a the puller and even with heat it would not free up. So I eneded up with a new sterring box and pitman arm over a worn bushing.
Keep on keeping it real Danner, you know what's important. Could have hit the vise jaws with a hammer to help at some points, the jaws tend to cock over and lock up when you use one side like that. But because of the U-joint itself you couldn't place the pressing point dead center in the vise jaws anyway, such is life. I've found out the hard way that it's not so much cheap aftermarket parts that make these little adventures so difficult as it's the general lack of proper machining of replacement parts anywhere that is the real issue. OEM included. After having my rear handed to me for the first time in my career recently by a dodge U-joint, I determined that the cross was at the very least .030 over length and the clips would never fit without some further 'machining' done to the brand new cross. Next time, I'm writing down the dimensions and measuring the yoke to see how much spread is required of the yoke to even fit the clips on. Would save me half a day at least. Used to be a half hour with a hammer and any vise and you were done.
Know this is a old post but it has helped me out a lot doing my ball joints on my 95 xj.
One side done just the other to do now.
Big thanks buddy.🍻👍.
I am glad to know that my struggles helped you! Makes it all worth it
I always push the first cap through , past where it goes , put clip in and then the other cap . like you did at the end . And when taking a stubborn one out . When i have pressure on u joint with press , i gently hit the yoke by the u joint caps . the shock usually gets it moving . some people hit the tool , but i would rather hit the shaft than my tool. I have a u joint vid up .
@ 1:09:54 you said you heard the UPS guy just as one drove up to my house. It was such perfect timing I thought you were hearing my guy, definitely a little trippy!
16:16 proceeds to break the plastic piece on purpose. "Just broke that". LOL Working on cars can be really frustrating - I've tossed a few wrenches and yelled at a few of my friends that came to help at times. I love your videos, they are REAL. Thanks, I've learned a lot from your vids.
lol, I assure you it was not intentional. Thanks my friend :-)
Real Life ! Great job. Just did this on a 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer :) I feel for you ! To bad Eric O was not around .
"You know what, I have a son!" -- that was great
Thanks for being open and sharing, We ALL can relate.. Love your channel
I'm glad I'm not the only guy that has these issues when I'm working on my vehicle. #empathy
Great Video you showed what does happen and how to get out of a jam without cutting it out of the video. thank you for that.
Thanks Joe
I've been holding onto this because it was embarrassing but I know it will be more helpful to those who truly have never done one of these before.
No reason to sugar coat this repair, right?
Joe Briggs Yes! Definitely! Even those in the biz doing this type of work, daily. It's almost inevitable that something is not going to go as planned. It's really how we deal with said problems or how we choose to suck it up & persevere. Really tough, some days....
I did mine both sides with two sockets a 🔨 left hub and bearing on used a g clamp to ease new u j's in and reversed procedure to install less risk of damage 👍👍great video done mind from this cool bud ... Wd40 !!
The worst part and best part about this, is this is the Jeep that caught on fire. So talk about a painful editing process. But it is also the best part because I don't have to worry about that tone ring I screwed up!!
ScannerDanner I have an extra ball joint press...I'll donate to you...keep the videos coming let me know, Dustin
ScannerDanner hello i need some help with my mazda bt 50 2012 dont kniw how to set the timing onbthe crackshaft with 2.2l 4cylinder please contact me at the christopherbahadur@gmail.com
Be honest, you burned the jeep down because it bothered you so much driving around with a missing part!
post this to my forum Christopher
Wow buddy I didn't see it burned down on you fuck buddy it was out to beat you no matter what you did
Don't be so upset with yourself, we've all made mistakes. It seems that when you get into projects and you constantly try to avoid doing something, you eventually end up facing the inevitable. I can tell you that i enjoy both electrical and mechanical aspects of cars. I hate monotony. Being hunched over a hood 3 cars in a row sucks as much as getting 3 no starts with all different variables. I'm not perfect at the electrical troubleshooting side but that's what makes it fun and the more i discover, the more i can apply. Same with the mechanical side. I can do head gaskets on a grand am in half the time it took me to do upper intake gaskets on it the first time. You learn shortcuts. Now you can do a tone ring video if you run into it on another car and add it to the series :-)
nice job, i just went through something similar not long ago. with all of the struggle i have one question mr danner. where was the spray lube? haha. nice job man. if it was always easy people wouldn't need DIY videos right? i had to laugh literally out loud when your frustration about the angle was coming through, simply because it reminded me of myself, only without the swearing and fetal position weepage. thanks for posting. I had the same problem with the MOOG ujoints about the c clip not going in there. Was so mad, mine was for pathfinder front / rear u joints. Believe i finally went and bought a different brand. MOOG got it wrong!
This is what keeps your channel/s interesting Paul. Your electrical diagnosis and knowledge is first class. Mechanicing skills ummm..... Haha just kidding mate. The workshop and driveway environments are so completely different its not funny. Access to special tools and workshop equipment that just make a job so much easier. Looks to me that you were tempted not to release this video because the Taurus vid you spoke of was a few months ago now. But videos like these are refreshing because it shows that its not just me and Im a failure but this crap can happen to anyone.
I wanna see Eric O. comment on this vid! bet we'd all get a laugh.
Love the honesty of your videos!!
Thanks for posting the video. I like all the explanations. Did you save any parts off that thing after the fire?
this make my day lol !! don't worry danner we all have struggled with something and scream for something or a ball joint or that 10mm that dissappear!
My way of figuring out if there's play is to simply jam my finger in the joint. The finger will feel even the most minute of play in between the plates, eyes deceive. Remember looking at an axle joint, thinking it had play, got it all worked out of the car only to find it was rock solid.
Should I do that with the axle spinning haha just kidding
Awesome video.. Would it have been ok to put the snap rings in from the side so the gap was accessible in case of future servicing?
Not sure what you mean. But in part 2 I definitely did it better
You are a brilliant troubleshooter.
I keep hearing pico is the way to go for scopes for those of us who are learning. and I will get there at some point but you're thoughts on portable scanners?? Actron Elite, Innova pro, etc...any info is greatly appreciated. Sorry for picking on you abit for the Ujoint with the Jeep but I would expect the same. You are doing awesome work!!
I did one on a 3500 ram work truck the other day, around 100k kilometers and dirty as can be. It fought me just like that getting those clips off...thankfully I had no tone ring so I could do some smashing.
Wow, that hurt ! Paul I have to admit that was some good entertainment at your expense ! At the same time I was feeling the pain for ya because been there once or twice myself. Sometimes it's better to walk away for a few hours when you are having one of those days where it seems that what ever you touch turns into a disaster ! LOL ! You still the man dude ! LOL !
It happens,, I just keep moving with the repair just like you did.. 👍🏻
used the open end of wrench as a hillbilly crowfoot?
I've used cheap large vices and old sockets as a press cups, load it with pressure and smack with large sledge hammer, preheat the nastiest ones with torch.....
Real life adventure! Thanks for posting
You done good!
I know that feeling myself, "bones of the trade" i guess!
You can do it a hundred times perfect, but eventually one day, it will take just a distraction to mess it up!
Just another lesson to be learned from life! ;)
Time to lick the wounds and move on!!!
Best regards.
Nice job man and awesome video showing the ball joint press w.vice trick. I would have just cut of the caps of the needle bearings.
You can see why I don't video mechanical repairs though lol. I'm a diagnostic tech. I can do the mechanicals, but it's not my area of expertise. But thank you!
spray penetrating oil on these clip's, soak them first. Many, many year's of dong this , these problem's are actually normal. , Keep going.
That's just real life thanks for showing it all
paul, next time, hit the cap in to loosen the clip. Remove, then turn it 180 and repeat. When you install, put the joint in and one cap all the way in. Install clip, turn 180, slide the joint up, install other cap and clip. Or you could have asked your brother. Would he have given you crap about it?
sorry but i had to laugh, nice to see a fellow sufferer. at least you are warm and dry. just finished working a car outside on the street in the rain. by the way love this video
I was wonder hm 1h and 10 min video with Scanner Danner doing a u joint 😲?? Well this could be entertaining 😊 and it was. Man, i lost track how many time you take the axel of the wise back and forward hahaha well i can feel your frustraition but you made it, thats whats counts. Love you.
Good job keeping your cool on video if it was me axle would off been tossed across the garage. Good video kept on making them.
I feel your pain man! One of the most frustrating things for me is to do an easy straight forward job and have it go sideways :-\ Especially when I have to dig deeper into my pocket
long time no speak. All work-No play. Im back now, I just refreshed my SD Premium subscription two days ago. I have a quick question. I dumped my 04 Monte Carlo and now have a 2004 Trailblazer EXT 4.2L. My question is this: I looked at the wiring diagram for the power seat (driver) and can't figure out if the power to the seat is supposed to stay on EVEN without key in ignition. I never had power seats so I'm not sure if the seat stays with power until the button is pressed at which then the voltage is delivered.? Not a major issue, but thought I'd ask you because you are the MAN.
Without looking at a diagram I am not sure.
Thanks so much!
Post this to my forum and we'll see what we can do to help
after I get my snap rings in I like to put both ends of the yoke in a vice a squeeze them together ,seating the clips against the inside of the yoke because it can be spread a bit ,pushing in on the caps. it will free it up so it moves nice.
nevermind
+matt - are you talking sex?
Per WikiPedia:
A universal joint (universal coupling, U-joint, Cardan joint, Spicer or Hardy Spicer joint, or Hooke's joint) is a joint or coupling in a rigid rod that allows the rod to "bend" in any direction, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion. It consists of a pair of hinges located close together, oriented at 90° to each other, connected by a cross shaft. The universal joint is not a constant-velocity joint.
Well that clears things up :-)
Scotty Kilmer would have had this done in 2 minutes 13 seconds. He would then spend another minute or so telling you that you should sell the Jeep and buy a Toyota. Everybody has had a simple job that kicked their ass. At least you didn't give up and set it on fire.... wait, what?
Mopar Nut love this it's so true as well but funny thing is you can still lurn from his channel
I just kid around. I actually watch Scotty all the time, if for nothing else the entertainment value. When he starts describing noises that a car makes and waving his hands around, I bust out laughing all the time.
Moog parts are not as good as they once used to be, I found this out the hard way with a pitman arm that did not fit right or last as long as the OEM part. Moog tie-rods lasted half the mileage as the OEM.
Spicer u joints are the BEST, MOOG went down the toilet in recent years as Reekor said.
Man I felt your pain watching this one. I think the yoke pinches a bit during the pressing, may be a bit of vibration (hammer) on the yoke might have encouraged it back. Not easy man, Thank you so much for sharing
call eric the car guy he would have welded it altogether in .lol lol
major 007 He is no joke hah.He was a dedicated auto technician that only worked on Hondas or Acuras and now he sells out to every company on each opportunity. His videos have become boring and few and far between but still has many viewers. I'm sure he is making lots of money from the TH-cam even with the boring videos
Sell out is a strong word don't you think? Eric is my friend, so I'll respectfully disagree. He has a different approach to things, he really focuses on the DIYer with little to know experience and there are a ton of people in this world that need his help.
He's also found a way to get sponsors to come in and help him. That isn't selling out, that's called knowing how to make money. I'm happy for him.
The best sign you can put up in business is "sold out"
If you ever want to bust out cussing and throw something in the middle of the video, i think everyone would understand.
What is the tone ring and what does it do my 98 does not have that
it's getting late. I really thought you were going to loose it and you didn't. You won again.
I have a 95 jeep I'm about ready to do the same thing ball joints and u joints let the games begin lol
the tools don't make the mechanic . the mechanic makes the tools.🖒
Scanner Danner, I've just been through this pain myself. I've not experienced such a nasty forsaken job for a long time. When I've hunted down the inventor of this chicanery, I'll give you their address 😂🙃😂
JEEP 1 DANNER 0 ha ha Man, I sympathize with you. Ujoints can be so *&^%*( frustrating. I'm surprised you kept as calm as you did.
+scannerdanner i said one i will say it again brother that kind of jobs are not for u ( for diagnostic man u are the best)
Stick to Scanner work, next time when you are using the vise to press the cups in, put the work in the middle of the vise jaws.
X2, YOU'LL PUSH THE CUPS IN CROOKED & IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE VISE.
Hi Paul can you tell me something, the earth on a MAF sensor marked as SIGNAL earth, it goes to the ECU, where does it go to, does it go direct to earth or via something else inside the ecu, what's the difference from signal earth and proper earth, can you earth out to battery negative a MAF sensor earth lead if you suspect the earth isnt going to earth inside ecu hope that made some sense from Fred in England.
It goes to the board first before ultimately going to ground externally.
It is done this way for noise reasons. For the sensing circuit to compare between the signal and signal return wire. And both wires have the same electrical noise which cancels it out.
As a test only, yes, you can ground a sensor externally
Thanks Paul, from Fred in England
24:37 just for me to see again scannerdanner getting mad..so funny lol
I live real close to chamersburg what ya doing there good job on video that's about how all my repairs go lol
A crescent wrench is fine, with a good quality wrench and experience...
