The day + it took me to do this, $75 looks like it would have been a deal.

I could tell from the looks of mine it was going to be tuff..I don't have a press so I just took it down to Napa...dropped it off...went shopping came back picked it up went home and put the shaft back in..1 1/2 the job was done..no cussing..no beet up knuckles..I like to fix my own things..but some things are better left for someone with the right tools...the 75 was for parts as well..was the better move for me...

I would think the parts alone would be at least $75!

I do the same as well...We have a good driveline shop in town. Usually costs around 100 bucks. I'm cheap, but I think it's worth it.

I bought one of Tiger Tools U-Joint tool and it was so slick. I thought it worked better then the C-clamp set up. I did a friend of mines u-joint with the driveshaft still installed out in the parking lot. Well worth the $90.
