Drive Shaft

Post by TheCyclone »

The first thing I did when I got my bump was pull the engine. Unfortunately I didn't release the torque converter. So, after the yanking and pulling I ripped the carrier baring apart. Thats when I figured something was wrong and eventually found the other bolts. Anyway long story short, it got a new carrier baring and u-joints. I was worried about replacing it myself, its a tight press fit. But with a MAPP torch and pneumatic chisle it came off without too much work. The new one slid right on with some tapping. The u-joints were fried. Had I not made this mistake I wouldn't have replaced them right away.
