Front Prop UJ (rear)

(1/4) > >>

robbie:
How easy are these to change?? Do you need complex hydraulic presses or will they just 'pop out' with a bit of persuasion??

And yes, the question is because mine has gone......... :(

robbie:
Just been doing some digging, on Paddocks, it shows a 'replacement' UJ or a 'Hard Spicer' UJ. Anyone know what the difference will be?? If it is the rear one on the front prop, am I better doing both while it is off the car??

I recall the name Hardy Spicer from years ago but cant recall what it is in relation to the Prop and UJ. Is this the criss-cross bit in the middle??

davidlandy:
Get a quality replacement like a GKN manufactuered one - it will cost you about the same price as 2 or 3 of the cheapo ones but it will last longer

been there done that got the tee shirt!

u dont need a press to get them out just a good vice, some circlip pliers , and selection of different size sockets to whack and do up in the vice, and a good hammer!!!

an easy diy job

hobbit:
Hard spicer I think you will find are Hardy Spicer, if i recall are a good branded one, again may cost more but will be better wear on them

ChrisW:
You should also replace the nuts and bolts between the diff/gearbox and either end of the prop.
Can't remember length but they are 9/16th UNF thread - nuts should be nyloc type. I can measure the set sitting on the centre console tomorrow as a result of a cold half hour underneath the car one night last week  :wink:
