U-Joint flange - plate/tool
Does anyone sell a backing plate to bolt the half shaft flange too? (For removing the u joints and not bending)
I have a piece of 1/4" plate that I planned to use, but didn't realize that the flange as a raised circle on the flat side.
It seems that if I was to use the plate, and put bolts through it and tighten, it may actually bend the plate due to the raised section. ...maybe tightening it just enough it's ok?

Just one more tool in your treasure chest. I went with a 1" plate and drilled the holes and added 4, one 3/16th of an inch washers to 'take up the difference' of that cut circle. Once balanced out I was free to go. I was able to service the 'U-Joint' with no distortion.
