Hi<br />Im replacing my drive bearings, but I cant get the u-joint with the bearings on out off the upper half, they have gone warm, can this make it worse, I have had them out earlier, any tricks? I have tried a little heat<br />Regards<br />Affa

Use a large C-clamp. Place a socket over each end of the U-joint: 1 to allow a bearing to come out, and 1 to press agianst the opposite bearing. This works like a champ to push out the bearings.

Thankyou!<br />I got it out, sorry forgot to tell its a alpha one, the outer ring on the drive bearing had cracked, so it gave me a hard time getting it out!<br />Thanks again!<br />Regards<br />Affa
