Trim up some hockey pucks, or use 1"box steel. Pretty simple

Lol I have the parts, I need to get the olds ones out first. I found a job, the pay sucks, and they're still waiting on my background test. Unemployment should pay me well if I get approved though.

Hit the axle shafts with a torch and then use a u joint tool on them, the ones that look like a big C clamp.

Called a ball joint press..... With u joint adapter cups. And torch is a bad idea, if not careful you can weaken the metal. I've never had an issue with just using my ball joint press, which Mcgee knows he can come use lol.

Ball joint press, my bad. I've been out of the game for a while haha. Although I did just use mine to do the ball joints on my Chevy. I've only ever had to use the torch on one, normally the press with a breaker bar is plenty.

You said you had the parts, and no job, so plenty of time.... So I ask again, what's the issue?
