- I know this has been covered, but I can't find my notes. So could you folks refresh me on installing u-joints into the half shafts of my TR6. I know it involves sockets and vices (not the alcohol dri

- Peter, I've done this with hammers, sockets and a vice, and with sockets and an hydraulic press. The easiest method I've found, however, is take it to a shop and let the pro's do it. Dave ___________

- I must admit, I find it easier with the hydraulic press. But I saw John Kipping do it with nothing but a BFH, and he sure made it look easy <G> Randall ______________________________________________

- Interesting. When I've watched John Kipping do it he uses a small hammer. He's not one for the BFH, and is pretty vocal to that end. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net h

- Well, to be honest, I didn't weigh it. To me, anything over 18 ounces is "big" and the one John used (you saw the same demonstration as I recall) looked to be about 32 ounces to me. But I could be m

- I just did this myself with an ordinary ball peen hammer. No sweat. I'm not sure why I didn't do it when I originally restored the car, but the 40 year old joints were all well & truly shot. George R
