I think it's $150 you think I should pay 150 to have some one put in a couple u-joints?

I think once those support bolts snap off I'm good to go. I have a breaker bar with 6 points I would twist those right off in 2 secs Right 8 retaining clips for u-joints are nothing major.

I beleive this bearing slides on right over the spines, maybe it is pressed on . I havn't got in there yet. I think it's the same set-up as a 409 or 1962 corrvette

I see . Thanks any more info would be great I'm good at the hard stuff , it's the easy stuff I have a hard time with. I'm curious to know how they seperate to get the bearing on. another Clip? would it be easier to pu 2 new u-joints I don't think that's my problem ..my support bearing cushion is toast. I can push the shaft up over 1" why would i need to remove the rear u-joint when I can just unscrew the 2 rear flange bolts ?

I have a service garage down the street , Once I remove the whole drive shaft out, I'll bring the whole thing down there ,and have them press out the old and press in a new, the rest should be easy I hope. I can install a water pump in a Honda but can't install a driveshaft & u-joints? is this chevy? This is Krazy Man. I'm sorry this is my 1st Chevrolet

you ought to replace the bearing, even nonetheless it won't harm to attend a week. you ought to toddler the motor vehicle contained in the mean time. you will start to experience a vibration from it being undesirable. so a techniques as bending the force shaft, it does not try this till you by no potential fix it. Then in time it ought to bend the shaft.

If you have never done this job before now is not a good time to be the first time. Let a experienced mechanic do the job.

You are following the right path, and I do believe they are pressed on.
