Re: [FWDLK] Ball and Trunnion

I got the boot from a guy advertising in the WPC News, but no longer have the contact info.  Point is the correct boot was available and cheap.

 

But if it's not broke, why fit it?

Hey Gang -

 

I pulled my 59 Dodge's driveshaft out of storage and decided that I wanted to rebuild the ball and trunnion (front) U-Joint. What tool should I use to remove the pin from the ball head ? Any 'gotchas' in disassembling the body ? Also, I may want to replace the boot, even though mine looks pretty good, with no cracks or tears. Where can you get the correct boot without paying a fortune ?

 

BTW, I'm keeping the B&T setup. I know some have gone to cross-type joints front and rear, which I'm not interested in doing.

 

Thanks,

 

Ron
