How to Install U-Joints w/ Full Circle Clips onto a Chromoly Front Axle Shaft + VIDEO

[TrailHunter]

Got them all assembled. Used a c-clamp, vise, and sockets. No access to a press. It worked pretty well. Now I'm all set to do ball joints and gussets this weekend.

Very cool... You’ll have some good peace of mind after this weekend. [emoji1417]

Yes I will. It'll be about as built as a stock axle should be built. After our new house mods we'll see if a PR44 is in the forecast. If not it'll just be a regear when I go 37's in the coming months.

Yes very helpful as was the installation of the new axle shafts. Going to be getting on the front end in a couple hours. Have to go get a ball joint press first.

If you don't already know, you can rent one from Autozone for free. Just make sure you get the Chrysler/Jeep adapter set too.
