Re: How to remove the U-Joint from my Trans?
Because google's search function usually points to the answer on the FordBarn forum better than FordBarn forum's search function. 8^) Jack E/NJ

Re: How to remove the U-Joint from my Trans?
agree with jack, i always google the question ending with ford barn. but many times folks do not put the real subject in the title. then, no search results.

Re: How to remove the U-Joint from my Trans?
Having a tough time removing the bolt, the output shaft still turns in low or reverse.

Try it in 3rd gear.....that'll be a lot tougher to rotate than in 1st. Plus, put chocks in front of tires. DD |

By the way, the previous advice to keep the coned washer was spot on. Note that when reinstalling the convex side goes against the bolt.

Re: How to remove the U-Joint from my Trans?
From someone who has asked their far share of dumb ass questions, I always appreciate those that take the time to try to get a clarification. We all know what we are working on but sometimes the details of our problem overshadows that info. We all think in different ways. How for instance does the convex side go against the bolt? To me the bolt is the threaded portion, I have bolts that I use for guides, they have no hex head. So to me the convex side of the washer goes toward the hex head. Just sayn’.

I saw that last night, and I ALMOST posted a comment with the word "HEAD" like you reference, but I figured it would look like just one more of my "picky-assed" comments, so I DIDN'T! You're CORRECT, by the way....cone toward the HEAD! DD |

Re: How to remove the U-Joint from my Trans?
Why? I'd do it your way too. But, why? If the bolt head has a respectable, decent surface, what difference does it make? Gimme a good technical reason. (Yes, I'm being 'pickey-assed'.)

You are only ignorant until you ask a question and get a correct answer. (unknown)

Re: How to remove the U-Joint from my Trans?
Why the convex side of the washer towards the bolt head. The compression of the convex washer keeps the transmission end of the ujoint under tension to prevent wobbling on the trans output shaft.
