Driveshaft Restoration and Rebuild

I recorded this video alongside my axle restoration, but didn't have time to edit the video. Finally got the thing done for all you people who like the Jeep restoration videos. I also have another 4 Jeep videos recorded that I just need to be edited, so get ready for those to come out soon™

FINALLY! Someone besides me uses straight phosphoric acid for rust treatment!

I think over time he's just building his dream car with scrap parts and I love it

Great job.
A thing of beauty.
Very satisfied.

I got a PVC pipe that the driveshaft would fit in. Glued caps on the end and cut it long ways to make a trough. set the shaft in the trough and filled with phosphoric acid. The result was a completely rust free driveshaft that needs no painting and is still rust free 10 years later.

I use a locking pliers for buffing bolts, as I hate chasing them around the shop floor. I used to get pretty impressive distances from some of them.

Great to see the clamp was made in the USA. Quality steel is guaranteed 👌!!

That’s a good trick! I hit the side of the yoke with a hammer and it loosened up the stiff new u-joint.

Very nice work two things I do I put just a little bit of grease inside of caps to help hold the needle bearings more than once I have seen them fall out of place I also like put a tiny bit anti seize on the out side of the caps it goes together nicer plus the next will thank for it I have been turning wrenches for almost 50 years every thing from small engines to farm tractors once nice work plus thank you for not ramming some shit ass music down our throats

very nice, on the bolts use 2 slivers of wood between the pliers so as to not gall threads.

That tool he used to remove the uni joint is a ball joint clamp/remover if anyone was wondering

[geobrown]

Good clearance on the grease zerk. I have to use the pipe end to get at mine. I have changed my u-joints so often they turn in the ears of the shaft....going to have to resort to some thread locker or something.

Amazing video! I just dropped the driveline on my 52 ford one ton preparatory to pulling the motor and I wondered if I could really clean up the drive shafts. This gives me hope that I can! Thanks!

NEVER clamp the driveshaft tube in a vice!
