    What if hammering the edges a little bit doesn't help loosen it up to make it move with ease?

    Chirs I don't know if you believe in God. You are absolutely amazing a Blessing for many people. I want to thank you for everything you do. If anytime on a bad day you go to bed thinking the wrong things, remember you matter and you inspire people … me in this case. I hope one day I could do a collaboration video with the help of the Legendary CHRISFIX.

    Remember to have the proper grease fitting orientation for accessibility! Facing forward or rearward? Throw the ujoint in the freezer for a few hours. Stiffer grease to hold the bearings in place and less resistance pressing in place.

    What could happen if you don’t replace it

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dandy Jones says:

    Don’t forget to align the grease zerks to ease future lubrication without having to rotate the driveshaft

    I cannot tell you how much money you have saved me and built my confidence when it comes to working on cars. I honestly used to just have my car serviced and I always got ripped off. Your videos and the great detail you put has helped me work on my own car. Your enthusiasm makes it really fun to work on and not a hassle when I have to maintain my vehicles. From your videos, I have been able to easily work on my Mazda RX8, Ford Explorer, and Jeep Compass. No longer will I have to spend thousands of dollars on mechanics when it will typically cost me less than 200 hundred and I learn something new. Thank you, Chris.
