Replacing rear u-joints

Postby DainBramaged » Sat Aug 20, 2016 12:00 pm

I have these four bolts off. I expected the shaft to come free but it won't budge. Now what do I do?

Probably rusted. Try soaking with rust penetrant and give it a "whack" with a big hammer to separate the yoke from the flange.

I was scared to do so without knowing that that's okay to do. Worked out perfect. Thanks!
