How to change a universal joint in a 4 wheel drive front axle. ( f-250)

In this video we'll change a Universal joint in a 4 wheel drive front end. The vehicle we're working on is a 1996 f-250 with a dana 50 axle. Whats the point in owning a 4 wheel drive if the 4 wheel drive doesn't work?

Your camera work, story pacing and narration are SPOT ON. I predict "cheap wheels " will keep its junk on the road for a long time!

It’s been 40 years of smiling and nodding my head... now I know what a u joint is!l Thank you!

A C-clamp to repress the needle bearing in the yolk, my gosh I never thought of that!!! Awesome Dave!

Dud this was seriously the best video I've seen on YouTube. My front axle on my 87 f150 started leaking and they wanted 900 bucks at a shop to fix it. Long story short, this video saved me 900 bucks.

LOL ... "Way to go, 'last guy to do this job!' " Lots of great tips in this one, Dave! One of my takeaways is the box for collecting parts as I do a job. No sense in being the next guy's "Thanks a lot!" target :) See you over the next cup of coffee, friend. God Bless

This was the best instructional I have ever seen. I was a teacher for 30 years and you did a magnificent job from start to finish. Hope you are continuing to put out these quality of videos.

I love your closing, "Keep your Junk on the road". I
m someone who used to do my own work, My dad was a mechanic. And told me, " I work on cars all week, I'm not working on cars when I get home. I'll tell you how to do it. But you're the one going to get YOUR hands dirty" And that was because my 63 Nova needed something done. I was 19, now 64. Thanks Dad in Heaven.

Good narration! I like how you explain in detail without being boring.

Videos like this are great. Takes the anxiety of ignorance out of the job before you're elbow deep and lost. Thank you sir.

Cheap wheels is great and so is bushradical. Best two channels on YouTube if you ask me. Thanks Dave and please keep it coming.

Thanks. Tomorrow morning, I put mine right front 4WD back together. Now, I can get the U Joint right. Thank You, Sir.

BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO I HAVE FOUND YET!

All the years i have been fixing cars i have learned a few things. You need a book, you need a plan, and you need the right tool for the 👍👍

[smithacoya]

this might be the most helpfull car mechanic tutorial ive ever seen good work my man

[axelbrode]

I have no intention of getting that involved in a job only to find out I need more parts and have to find a ride to the Auto parts store. When replacing a water pump years ago, I destroyed the gasket and had to make my own by tracing the old one on thin cardboard and coating both sides with Aquarium sealant. Worked like a charm and no leaks. MacGyver would be proud. Love the new channel.

Loving this channel. I'm not mechanically inclined but watching these makes me confident.

Just Paid $1600 for both sides of my 2016 F250 at a shop. My age and body told me not to this. LOL. I mostly work on my own vehicles if I can and I will say that if I had seen your great video prior to yesterday I would have dove into this project myself. I enjoyed your show very much!

Having done this before I can say patience and thoroughly cleaning parts are super important. Great video.

[josepha.hetherington]

Clear and concise. Having done this before when you tube did not exist it is nice to see someone that understands the SAE Engineering and has the patience to do a fine job and the kindness to share it with us. Best film and narration of all I have watched. Thanks

Ok Dave, You are one multi talented dude! This was very impressive.
