    Staked U-joints

    So I replaced my carrier bearing/support and while I had the driveshaft off I noticed the U-joint on the trans side of the driveshaft didn't want to swivel hardly at all so I want to change the U joint out entirely but I'm unsure how to do it with the way they're in there like there's no c clips or anything just the staking around the yolks at the tops of the bearing caps does anybody know how to remove/replace the U joints on these or am I stuck replacing the drive shaft all together?

    Find a driveline shop in your area. They will need to rebalance it. I have tried several times to do myself, but never works.

    If you want to DIY, you have to do it with new groves and a circlip http://www.bimmernut.com/forum/showt...ght=driveshaft

    Sweet thanks guys I'm probably just going to take the driveshaft somewhere and pay them to do it right it can't cost more than replacing the whole driveshaft lol
