U-joint, front right side
I am in the middle of a ball joint/U-joint change on the right front side of my truck.
So far so good, got everything apart exept inner U-joint of the drive axle. Do I have to open the diff. to get the axle out? Or is there another way.?

Was able to change it where it was.
Tried to slide it off, would not come.
It is 2 in the morning here now, only to assemble the hub and brakes tomorrow. It went pretty good.
The worst part is to get started.............
Thanks

I changed left side last year, that one popped out no problem. Only one universal on that side.
Now I changed right side, outer universal no problem but the inner one I had to change in place.
Just had a test drive, nice and tight
Thanks

Its been so long since I've seen one, my memory is hazy.
The RH axle has a slip joint in it with a rubber boot and clamp. You can remove the clamp and slide the outer 1/2 out, but the rest of it is held in the differential by the clip.
The inner joint seems to last forever. Its the outer steering joints that take the most abuse.
