MY UNIVERSALS WENT OUT IN THE FRT AXLES. TODAY WHERE AND WHICH ONES WOULD BE GOOD TO USE. QUESTION IS IT EASY TO DO YOURSELF OR WOULD IT BETTER FOR A GARAGE TO DO IT. THANKS MUDDY
-
there easy enough to do. you remove the hub assembly and they come out with it. the dana 30 is a non c clip so they just pull out.
i use the autozone ones just make sure they are greasable what ever you get.

Jon, I did mine, but some tools will make it easier. I believe its a 16 pt 13mm socket (which I have) and a U-Joint "Press" which you can use for free from advance auto (with a deposit). It was easier then I thought it was gonna be. IMHO...

can you use that same tool to do the ones in the driveshaft too. now i can grab the frt. driveshaft and all you hear is a crunching noise.
-
Yes, they usually have different sizes of adapters, some you can even do your Ball Joints.

PULLED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND A LITTLE METAL BALL FELL OUT SO IM GETTING A NEW ONE.

For any Drive Shaft needs, you should check out these guys. They're Vendors at our Jeep Show and they've done excellent work for me! Great people and very picky about their work. Highly recommended...
