U-joint flanges....who sells them???
I changed my u-joints but the flanges that mount up to the spindle were bent before i even pressed out the old one. So now i had to order new ones....someone told me to order from ZIP, but they said its gonna be 2 weeks before they get it and poopie it to me!! Im screwes....I looked in Mid-America, Ecklers, Not Just Vettes, and Vette Brakes, but none of them seemed to have them. Does anyone know who does sell them???
Thanks
Chris

Thanks pat, gonna give them a call tomorrow!
straydog, I would have went with the whole new halfshaft assembly, but the halfshafts are in good shape and i already got the new u-joints.
anyone else know where they are sold in case Conte's Vettes doesnt have them??
thanks again

Also try Parts Express in OH 1 440-748-1500 ask Bob or Jim
Too bad because I saw a used 1/2 shaft Sunday at a swap meet, I should have picked it up for the $25!
Good Luck,
Gary

I have a plate that I bolt to the flange before removing the universal joint. They are fragile and any press can bend them if not careful. The first time I tried with my press I say them starting to bend so I fabricated a plate to support them.

paul79- How much did GM charge you for the flanges ?
The last time I went there I asked for u-joints for the half shafts and the said " 125 bucks for the set" , I said " Great I'll take 'em " He came back with a box only about an inch high ----> it was only 1 u-joint , the 'set' meant the joint and the caps I thought he meant all four u-joints.
I asked him how much the Corvette ball cap was hanging on the wall and he
said " 15 bucks " and I said " I'll take it, it's the best deal I've ever got here ". I have not been back since
