Universal Joint Removal

[johnno510]

Hi. I need to remove the unijoints on my r33 tail shaft, I cant see the c clip like other uni joints these look like they are crimped in. Does any body know how to remove these joints? thanks johnno.

you cant

you need to either get a new shaft or take it to a tailshaft guy.

iv had this discussion with a tailshaft guy before this are your options. get the old ones machined out and put in an aftermarket uni (shit quality has a grease nipple and will break with any decent power) or he will cut the end off, source the same spline or flange from say a commodore that have replacable unis that are OEM and are good quality. My friend went through this just a few months ago with his sr20det tailshaft.

yeah. pitty holden stopped making mx7 tailshaft yokes about 3 years ago. (rb25 yoke)

im sure thers an aftermarket alternative.

i didnt know they stopped making that as the one he used was the smaller rb20 style one sor the SR, unfortunate tho.

Try Hardy Spicer part# 2R-3-2938 (Slip Yoke 1.284" x 30 spline) for less than $100
