I loosen my ringnut from the u- joint asambly, but I cant pull the u-joint straight out. Can't get it out, anyone sugestions?
thanks marc

Pull on input shaft and shake it up and down, side to side. That action will work like a slide hammer and the yoke assby will come out. DON'T GO NUTS on it as it lossens up the bearings can mar up the case.....

Jeromeke,
Take the ujoint out of the yoke (closest to the housing) slide a wooden dowel thru the yoke. I use a hub puller put on the puller backwards, one end of the triangle wraps right around the wooden dowel. Gently tap the assy out with the slide hammer. Make sure you are pulling straight out..
Some are stuborn and will marr the inside of the housing, but nothing you can do about it..
Hope that helps.
Dick

thanks for the reply
