The best thing about this video is that everything is closeup and in detail. That makes all the difference.
The worst thing about this video is he's over explaining him self.
“Grinders and paint make me the welder I ain’t”
Lol, love it, I have 2 girls too and 2 cats that NEED to know what I’m doing every second.
I complain but wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Thanks for the tips.
The moral of the story... Shop managers, hire those just out of high school to do this job. Why? Because when I was in high school auto mechanics i did this a bunch of times and consider it a task along the level of changing plugs. Now move the clock forward 60 years. I have to change my U Joints in my truck. So ran across this video and thought a refresher was in order. It should be a no-brainer ($10 parts and free labor) but after watching this video, I'm thinking, "You know, I'll probably take this to a shop since the labor will probably cost $150. LOL!" Nope, probably not because I have more money now, just lazier. And how much did U-Joints cost back in those days before China... I think about $6 ea. Great video! Thanks!
Welcome Sam!
This guy knows how to teach and how to make videos that do that. He's very personable and the lesson is thorough without being boring.
I love any content that you put out! Keep doing you, Brian!
Great Job Sir!! I appreciate your detailed explanation of the u-joint axle repair. Thanks!!
Me to! love to see all your projects . I can always learn as long as you continue to share. Thank you!
Great video! I always remove my grease zerks before installation. It prevents accidentally breaking them off, plus it gives excess grease a place to go during installation.
In the process of changing my u joints and carrier bearing on my 98 chevy. Info was very helpful thank you.
From an old ASE master, I like your video, also like your personality and laid back manner, thanks.
Not gonna lie, i hate when mechanics say "Im a professional mechanic" because often times they are complete idiots. Ive met some dumb "ASE Master mechanics" in my day
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 - Well said. In my dictionary, ASE stands for Ask Someone Else 😀
Thanks for one of the best, informative, efficient, videos I've seen. I've never before learned so much in so short of time. You addressed EVERY STEP AND PROBLEMS ran accross. Thanks for all the tips. 1st joint - 5 hrs
Watched video. 2nd joint - just over an hour including a shit and a snack!! 2000 ford f250 super duty crew 4 x 4 7.3 Thanks again.
Oh, Brian! When you included Bert in the video, i literally fell out of my chair laughing. Thanks.
TKS for sharing your experience and time for making this informative video. It's very good to know how it's done.
Excellent tips brother. Thanks for putting this video together. I'm done with hammering these in and out, borrowed a buddy's 6 ton HF press and it DOES make it so much easier.
Your by far the best how to video I’ve come across !
Wow, I think this is the most helpful video I've found for just walking through the process of doing U-Joints. I've done plenty of these over the years, but I can see that some of your little tips are just pure gold! I've never heard of using the ATF before, but I'll certainly be picking up a quart of that as I work over my CJ-5. I'm just at the point where I'm putting axles shaft u-joints in, so this video is definitely getting a bookmark! Thanks!
Try 50 % Acetone & 50 % (synthetic) ATF to loosen any bolt, they contain the smallest Moly of penetrating fluid. Mix a table spoon together let it sit for 5 min, Acetone loosen the rust, Synthetic ATF lubercate the parts for disassembly..
I really like the way you explained that now I will do the same to my 97 jeep Cherokee I've got alot of work to do thanks for the good teaching
Just put in U joints on a friends Ram 1500. Luckily I have access to the Auto Hobby Shop on base and used the press and dies. Once I finished, the u joint was really tight and didn't pivot as smooth as I liked. A friend of mine also working in the shop that day told me of a "little trick" about tapping on the caps just a bit to set the needle bearings. It worked and the joint would pivot nice and smoothly. Ever heard of this? Just like everyone else...put it out there, we'll watch!
Great advice
Best video on U-joints I have seen. Super job.
I did this with the front shaft on my 90 Suburban. I took the ring off the yoke and removed the yoke completely from the shaft to get it all cleaned out inside. Thanks for the videos.
Just subscribed! Excellent, detailed presentation and perfect music at the end!
Brian you saved my BACON. Instructions were perfect. Thanks A MILLION.
You absolutely rock brother
you’re a good American
thank you for the time you take on these vids
thank you so very much for taking the time to make sure a amazing instructional video. So very helpful!!
One of my favorite channels . Thanks
Thank you, this will help with the steering shaft u joint replacement.
wonderful show i have replaced many of these in cars and tks. some were easy some were horrible!!! any tips are helpful never ever to old to learn !!! safety safety first easy to loose eye thank you 74 years old but i love mechanic work !!!
Good job there partner!!! thank you for sharing!!!!!
Love your style,, I have been a mechanic for about 50 years and back when I didn't have a press to push the cups out, I had to beat the cups out with a hammer. But other than that,, I replace the joint exactly like u do,, the grease in the cups have saved me many times. Harry lewis
Thanks Harry!
Ppppoo
Good job. I just went through Canyon lands coming back from Utah to Mississippi this year.
Me personally I would love to see all the footage you have on working on that thing and what you had to go through to get it to its point it is now
Hands down the most neglected u-j's I've ever seen!!!
Great job and awesome remedy for the grease on slip yoke!
Those still have 30k miles left, my stuff is neglected😂
The most neglected ones are the ones you never see. They're in the ditch 100 feet behind your broke down car
Over the years of working in the industries, trucking and personal four wheeling I've learned that you should always stay with the same grease or if you switch then remove all the old grease. Different greases will attack each other and turn to a worthless light oil. Also, when installing u-joints, make sure you put the grease zerk so it is under compression when traveling forward. A hole in the u-joint where the zerk goes is a weak area. Enjoy your videos and humor. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tips!
Great tips Brian. I like the plug you made. (No one will ever know). It's amazing how much footage it takes to get a video posted. If you have footage of the canyon trip I'm one vote for "post it". :)
I watched a bunch of these. This one rocks!! Thanks!!
That’s the best video I’ve seen for this procedure
I’m going to do mine on the trooper now!
Thanks man!
I agree it is the best explained video
I'm pretty worried about messing something up myself, since I need to replace the U-joints on my '79 Chevy C30, but I can say I'm more confident now! Thanks a lot.
Great video on U-joints. I wondered how those are done. I would like to see your tire video, I have done the ether trick with some success, it doesn't always work.
This video was the perfect balance of explanation and video. Even a dope like me could follow along! Thanks.
Learned a lot in this video. Thanks!
This is one of my next projects. Thanks.
Thank you for the realistic video.
Great job sir!
Fantastic video
This was an awesome video. Nice to see someone take the pains to do the job right. Very well narrated as well. Good to see old fashioned pride in the work. I wouldn’t have admitted to the boog placement though. “Jus sayin.” 😂 Thanks for the great video. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video, I was going to tackle it myself but will have to take it to a shop, did not know how involved it could be with the welding and all.
Thanks for the video. Learned alot from it.
I love these hammerheads that give advice.. . They need to create their own video since they are so wise. Thank you for the great videos.
Let's see the fork lift rebuild!
I dont know avout U joints except what you've vocally taught. Seems genius, you're great!! Thanks!!
Thanks Jack!
Nice job and thank you for the teaching
Thank you very much I really enjoyed that have an awesome day God-bless and God speed
Great show thank very much (Nick from Sydney Australia)
Very good with the detail, better than most teachers 👍🏽
Much appreciated Captain!
excelente VIDEO , ERES BUEN AMIGO , MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR.
Your a good teacher, Thank you Bro.
Great & Helpful Information. Thank you
Excellent advice. Through training video!
Again very interesting and informative..
Thanks for sharing
Awesome videos as always Brian
Awesome tips! Thank you sir!
I had an old mechanic tell me to watch for the rustty red color of a brick! He taught me that when you have a piece of metal grinding together that has no lubrication it pulverize the iron and turns it back into Orr! Which is what it started out as in the beginning! Orr is the color of a clay red brick when it is extracted from old mother earth. I have wrenched on cars for thirty plus years and have seen and looked for this color to tell me I have pieces that are dry of lubrication and needs attention 😉
How nice would a flight through that country be!!! Good instruction. Be like Brian, due diligence! Clean everything well! It will pay for itself on reassembly, don’t pound on those caps like they owe you money.
very good and professional thanx
Thanks for the video! Keep it up.
Good informative video, bud. I like and agree with using atf. I've been using dielectric, which works fine for high heat lubricant and rust prevention, but atf is way cheaper! Thanks
I would watch it for sure.
Great u-joint info! Thx for the great video!
Please put some more videos showing you working on the forklift - it would be great to see your troubleshooting skills on a machine which has a few issues in the real world and how you fixed them as most people always just stick to cars or motorbikes
Thank you. Very helpful.
great video with awesome tips sir, thank you!
Great video, thank you, you are fine technician
Great video! That was professional
Fantastic advice, thanks for sharing!
great video, will be doing this on my 68 Camaro
Great presentation!

Very Helpful Thank You
You're welcome Robert!
Great video. Thank you.
Great video, thanks
Yup!! Videos of the shop and the canyon lands!! Pretty please, Brian! :)
Hi Brian shops coming along great. All the best.
Thanks Harold!
Great Video. Could you so a video on a transfer case rebuild, specifically any late model New Process? That would be awesome, thx for all the great vids.
very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks, helpful video
No comment, just thumbs up, always for you.
Thanks for the extra tips and info.
That adjustable shaft is cool
Great video. Lots of good info.
Thanks, nice video. Haven't changed any universal joints in like 40 years. Last time was on a 70 ish Ford Mustang and it was easy as pie like the few before. Caps pressed out and in with just a few taps of my hammer. Working on my Kubota belly mower and these are so tight I was thinking I was going to mess up the yoke so I stopped, stepped back and slept on it, usually my best course of action. Anyway, picked up a few tips and will get'er done today.
great video thank you so much!!
YES to the forklift videos. What happened to the Metabo impact as your favorite?
