Drive Line Help Needed!!
I did a search for U joint replacement and all I could find was for half shaft ujoints. I was lucky enough to have blown up the unjoints in my 82 and now I need to replace them. Can someone please give me a detailed description or a thread on doing it. Also what ujoints does everyone recomend I want something strong I like to run hard and do not wish to break them again.
Thanks in advance

Spicers without the grease fitting is about as good as it gets. Changing them isn't a real big deal. Some guys say torch them out, I used a press. You can do it with a C-Clamp and a socket. Getting the drive shaft out is annother matter, it can be a pretty good wrastling match.
