My truck has been clunking when I back out of a parking space and when I put it in drive. I climbed under the truck and my rear u joint is wasted beyond belief. I had to order some from the auto parts store. My truck is a ext cab and had the two piece drive shaft. I thought no big deal I would go home and tear down the old drive shaft and be ready to put the new joints in when I got them today, wrong. I cant get the bolts loose at the rear axle to remove the drive shaft. I tried my impact the came with my compressor. It did not work. I will be borrowing a good impact from work and hope they come loose. From what I am reading here in the postings the carrier bearing is a bitch to remove. Are there any other things that I can look foward to on this project?
