ujoint removal
I'm running out of tricks. The rear outer ujoint (where the drive shaft meets the rear diff). One side is pressed (into the drive shaft) the other side was clamped).
I've soaked it in penetrating oil, darn near busted the press (c-clamp type with hole on the bottom), whacked it with the hand sledge and a close fitting impact socket, heated it and whacked it. I don't think it has budged a micrometer.
Been at it for 3 days now. Any other tricks?

I like the vice! I've always wanted one mounted to the bumper.
I am at the in-laws with only the tools I carry. After all the beating,heating,oiling,pressing, it finally just fell out when I went to go beat on it again. I did however go through the old man's garage and under all the stuff piled on the work bench, there is a vice, which I had my eye on. I was also contemplating a wrapping a come-along around a couple of metal plates with the bottle jack in the middle.
Thanks for the pic, if it had not have just practically fallen out, that would have done it for sure.
