 U-joint removal
does anyone know how to get the u-joint off of the shaft. I'm trying to take the engine off of a go-devil longtail.

 Re: U-joint removal
if you are trying to take the joint out of the yoke, you need to know out the C-clips and then use sockets and a hammer to know out the joint. Good luck. Ince you look sat it youll know what to do.

 Re: U-joint removal
man that things givin you hell aint she??! just be sure not to pull directly against the shaft. if you take the yoke apart you should be able to use a puller or something to get her off. good luck. them things can get all kinds of seized up!

 Re: U-joint removal
I've un bolted the engine, taken the set screws out of the u-joint, beat the fu(k out of it with a hammer and broken a punch. Theres gotta be a better way!

 Re: U-joint removal
u may want to take the yoke apart so you can get the engine in a better position, off the frame. then youl have a lot more room to work with.

 Re: U-joint removal
Go rent a balljoint press and you will thank yourself. You will need a 7/8" socket and an impact wrench and go to town.
