Broke my vice!
 
:-banghead I changed a couple u-joint's today, and managed to destroy my old vice,and the new one I bought.I don't think the u-joint's have been changed in my truck since 1976!

Must have been fun. Carnage is always nice. I had a buddy with a 66 pu. Always breaking u-joints. We could change one in about 5 min on the side of the road.

Ya it was fun alright.I can't wait to do the ball joint's.

Crappy tire. I think that's where I got my old one.

Funny i broke my new vice doin the same a month ago. Driveshaft is workin good though lol. Did my ball joints 2 weeks ago when i did my 8 lug swap up front. No vice around large enough or a press but a piece of pipe and a BFH worked well.

Everyone needs a BFH in the toolbox. There never seems to be a BFH big enough.

mike240zt 01-21-2008 02:34 PM

No, my BFH is large enough just not always enough room to use it lol

I bought a vice toda in Kamloops,paid 3x the money.The guy dared me to try and break it.The first one I got from Japan Tire,the second from Lrdco.Both broke,both crap.I dunno if the new one will be big enough for the ball joint's,may need the BFH!

Borrow Mike's. Last time I did u-joints I think I did it in my driveway.

Some adVICE, when you break your vice, somethimes that can be a good thing, because a vice can become a crutch, and a crutch becomes a habit, and a habit is an addiction. So a broken vice, can be a good thing

Well it works like it's supposed to.It did what 2 couldnt do effortlessly.
