My u-joints have not been replaced since I purchased the truck bad in 1999, I had about 26,000 on it then. It has a little over 103,000 now.
Should they be do for a replacement or do they start making noise before they go out?
I haven't done u-joints before, what tools do I need?
I am pretty mechanically inclined, so it shouldn't be a problem, I just need to know if I need a press or if a BFH and a vise will work.
And, is there any way to tell which size they are with out pulling them?
What is the best brand to get? Or is the parts house (Autozone) brand pretty decent?
I know this is a fairly simple and straigh forward operation, but I just don't want to get 1/2 way done and realize that I forgot something or an missing a tool that i need.
Thanks
