(78 wagon) Ordered new axle U-joints, they come in tomorrow.

The FSM is a little vauge, are these going to be replaceable in the same way as, say, a typical driveshaft U-joint?

I mean, do I just undo the bolts and swap them out, or does this require the pulling of the whole axle etc. ?

(hoping I can do this by myself, but if an axle pull is required, I'm gonna need help:-\ )

if you are just redoing the u-joints no the axe does not have to come out, u-joints are very easy;)

if'n you need help, sure!

did you order the points and condenser?

see if there is some kind of a snap ring keeping the caps from coming off, that's how they should come out if no bolts

Yup, got point & condenser too.

Ahh, I think they are snap rings..... too bad I don't own the right pliers to remove those.......

Subiemech, you have a PM......(lol)

they were fixed, don't need to worry anymore
