Re: [Chrysler300] Ball & Trunnion Pin

[Matt Allyn <allynentertainment@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did that game years ago on our '62 300.
The pin shattered and I had to take it to a place called The Hold Shop, that 
specialize in laser removal of broken off bolts, etc...like a stuck trunion 
pin.  Finally got it cleaned out and installed the new pin and bearings and 
boot.  The process is a pain in the #&$.

So...when it came time to do the same on our '62 New Yorker Wagon....we got the 
best of that driveshaft!
We took it to a shop that sliced off that front piece and grafted on a "normal" 
front u-joint.  All is well in wagon world now!

Ron,

You should take the driveshaft to a shop that knows what they are doing 
with a ball and trunnion joint.

Best I recall (about 30 years ago) mine required about 20 tons to remove 
the pin. But wait...reinstalling the pin requires a special tool to assure 
that it is perfectly centered. If not, your driveshaft will vibrate as if 
you had a bad u-joint.

Just my 5 cents...

Hello, everyone:

I am replacing worn ball and trunnion parts and applied 10 tons of 
pressure on 
the pin to remove it. It is not coming out. How much pressure can be used 
without breaking the drive shaft?

Best regards,
