If you have never done them before, should take an hour or two.....but if you have the help of someone who has.....under an hour from start to finish.


Couple tips:
  • Be sure to mark the shafts before you bang the old joint out, this way it stays balanced.
  • Grease zerks always point towards the driveline.
  • Pay very close attention when installing the caps, one needle bearing that "falls down" will ruin your day.
  • Be sure to "burp" the joint if they are tight after installing the clips. This is done by striking the driveline near the joint with a hammer. They should move freely without any tight spots.
  • When greasing the newly installed joints, make sure grease comes out of every cap.
  • Patience, patience, patience.

Good Luck!
