I snapped my rear u-joint on my 98 Chevy 1500. I've been warned its tricky replacing the u-joint. What are the steps in replacing this u-joint. Thanks

Hi there,

Tricky is not the word i would use, this is really something that must be shown as its all about technique not part A fits on to Part B type of thing, i would get a mechanic to knock in a new joint, it should only take a few minuets but if you get the chance to watch, you will see what i mean.
