DOWN! best video on putting together universal joints with many tips. I have been doing this for 30 years and learned more in 20 minutes than the last 30 years. THANK YOU

Just "found" you all recently, being an "old shad tree" mechanic for more years than I can remember, your videos are great, informative and truly enjoyable. This tip on replacing the cross & bearings is really insightful, I have fought with them to many times. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the excellent teaching. U joints have always been a bit mystical to me to install correctly. I blew 2 today in the heavy snow now I know how to change them. Thank you !

Thank you! I too did not like to repair universals, always sent it out, no more! After your video, I was able to get it done and see how wrong I was approaching the job before! Thank You!!!

Found your video on universal joints just in time swap out u-joints on my tractor PTO shaft. What a blessing, followed your instructions and it came apart and went back together very smoothly, I'm sure it saved me a great deal of time and frustration. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Thanks for the demonstration, as a pro engineer I learn something every day, now I can change my mower pto with confidence, just hope it's as easy as this was. Always good to watch a professional who knows what he is doing. Thank you.

Outstanding! Very well explained. Thank you for your time and effort to bring this to those of us who have struggled.

Extremely helpful video! Thank you so much... something no one taught me to do growing up

[liemavick]

Thank you so much for the teach. Got a small tractor shaft I'll be pulling soon. All the best.

Thanks for the tutorial Lance, i've done god knows how many uni's over the last 30 years in the trade but never like that. Dropped my fair share of rollers too, even an old dog like me can learn something new (never too old to learn a better way) thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Peter.

Good stuff Lance, 40 years ago I was taught to tap all 4 caps loose with a hammer whilst holding the joint in my hand.

[steveprice]

thanks for the tips, been many years since changing these...helping out a neighbor so a refreshing and few new tips really helped!

One of the most well put together instructional videos I have seen. Thank you for making a first time job feel like one I have done many times.

never even thought about c-clips being directional. makes total sense, thanks for pointing that out
