Why does anyone need a special tool t o replace a u joint when all that is needed is a screw driver to pop out the circlips and hammer to drive the joint out of the yoke and a vise to reinstall and lack of a vise to reinstall the hammer will suffice to reinstall the joints and caps too. In this case I wouldn't even call a special tool a convenience but a needless way to line someone else's pocket.



Between working at my friends vette shop on the side and helping out some friends i tired of whacking the caps in. Must of the time they go right in then others have to be a pain in the .......... You needle bearing fall over then you pick at them with a pick to stand them up i had enough.

If you seen that amount of u-joints that i have to be changed on half shafts on the vettes. just looking for something to make my life easier i used it a a tranny shop a few years ago worked like butter.
