Ive never done a u-joint R&R on an aluminum drive shaft before.Can I use a 6" c-clamp or will I need to rent/buy a HD c-clamp press type to R&R the u-joints? What do ya'll prefer; grease zerk u-joints or lifetime greased?

 

I guess no one has ever done an aluminum drive shaft u-joints before.Ah well,guess I can find the info on another site.

 

Someone did a whole tech write-up on this very subject not long ago. But .................... i could'nt fid it in a search.

The one thing that I recall being different fron a steel driveshaft replacement was the U-joints themselves. Apparently the aluminum driveshaft replacements should be coated with some type material that keeps the dissimilar metals from reacting to each other, thus preventing corrosion.'

I'll keep looking for the article but maybe another person will find it before me.

Good luck.
