front drive shaft
 
Ok guys I might be stupid or some thing but I am tryin to replace my ujoints and for some season I can not pull the shaft out from the tcase any ideas

clayton3854 12-17-2011 03:37 PM

you did unbolted it correct? lol

underdog88 12-17-2011 03:39 PM

Ya I did is it locked in the t case some how

caged 12-17-2011 03:48 PM

it is bolted to the t-case as well as the axle.
if you did remove the bolts from the t-case, you may need to use a small pry bar between the u-joint and the yoke.

hawaiian808 12-17-2011 03:56 PM

Can you just press them out? Without removing the shaft?

underdog88 12-17-2011 04:11 PM

Is there any way I can take the yoke out of the tcase

I have little room and before I bought it the striped two bolt heads and you can't get a socket in there

The front yoke does not come out of the t-case unless you remove and disassemble the t-case........
The rear yoke slides in and out of the t-case, unless someone has installed a slip-yoke-eliminator

You could put a jack under the t-case to hold it up, and remove the crossmember. You'd have plenty of room to access them then.

that looks like its gona be a pain. probably cant get vice grips in there either?

underdog88 12-17-2011 06:22 PM

You can get them on but you can't turn them the vise grip and I put liquid wrench on them and still nothin. But if You look close between the d30 and tcase the is three u joints my blazer only has to my dads f150 had two so I am lost here

underdog88 12-17-2011 06:30 PM

And I would have to put a jack under the tranny not the tcase

underdog88 12-17-2011 07:22 PM

So any thoughts on it if I just change out the u joints that does not help with the striped heads

freegdr 12-17-2011 07:51 PM

cut the heads of the bolts off if a 6 point 5/16 wrench wont work

underdog88 12-17-2011 08:02 PM

ya they won't work the 5/16 won't work. Is the threads just in the back not the yoke
