[QUOTE="C-130 Wolf Man, post: 432235, member: 20414"] well i'm here to tell you... its not that it CANT be done but rather don't do it LOL. I have searched 4 different parts stores looking for the correct u-joint to no avail. The part given the first time (UJ20057) from SKF was WAY too big. It was double checked by two stores. Then yet another store gave me a spicer and it fit however it was too short (i swear I'm not making this up) after attempting to remove the part i completely destroyed it. I've never seen this happen and i swear im not an idiot. this ridiculous project has been crazy. axle seals? easy. new tie-rod? no prob. new drag link? piece of cake. ball joints even? yup a little challenging buuuut got r done. so Universal joints should be smoooooth as silk.. HA! think again! enter SUCKER-PUNCH. and now im looking for what the hell hit me aka advice/some reason i can't find a stupid u-joint that fits my "Maul Crawler" its a 27 spline dana 30. [/QUOTE]
