I find it's a lot easier if I spray some wd40 and give it a few belts with a hammer and socket, the clips usually come right out with pliers then

Just tap that side with a sacrificial socket and that snap ring comes right out.

The easiest way is to actually get a vice and 2 sockets and squeeze the caps together and that takes the load off the clips.

Ok. Now give me tips on removing internal c-clip on Ram 2500 front axle u-joint. I am having the hardest time getting purchase on the tip of the clips which are toward the inside of the ears. So far, 2 out of 4 broke in half on the passenger side using a screwdriver and then later some nail set punches. So far destroying 1 screw driver and 2 nail sets. I am now half way done on the driver side. There has to be a better way.

Socket and a big hammer. Just replaced 2 40-50 year old you joints with only breaking one clip. Broke My first one because I wasn’t being aggressive enough with the hammer. Eventually the clip will rotate inside the grove and thats the sign that it’s ready.

Each one came out differently on the ujoints that im doing. I needed heat for all, but some came out with pliers, others needed more persuasion.

What do you do if the clips keep snapping even with heat ?

Dude sounds like he's got 8 kids and he's teaching this to his 6 yr old

What vehicle does that drive shaft go to? That Flange yoke looks like the one I’m trying to find. Someone customize a drive shaft and swapped the rear end on one of my vehicle.

[stanced]

put a screwdriver against one of the bends on the clip and wack with a hammer.

My u joint clips are inside Still work the same

[jayryan]

You call this the easy way? Just shove the screwdriver underneath to pry the ring up a little bit then grab them with pliers and yank them out! That wrist twisting motion looks like a blast... As in blasting your joints to give you arthritis at an early age LOL

[bigoneish]

Nah u struggled more than using the pliers
