Default U -joints PITA
I am wondering if anyone has a press I could use to do my U joints. Hammer and a vise just don't cut it. Can't heat them up because it's aluminum DS. So basically I need a hydraulic press. Thanks

Ball joint press and a vice work great too!

Just heat it up with a walmart torch to get the plastic out of the stock u joint caps, then go rent a ball joint press from autozone.
