R32 Gtr Front Drive Shaft U-Joint Replacement

[datsun_1600]

Just replacing the clutch on my R32 GTR and I noticed the front drive shaft universal joints are about done. All the ones I have done in the past (all Datsuns not GTR's) Have a clip on each end cap holding it in. But these look like they are punched around the outside effectively making them locked in. How have people got around this in the past ?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

yeah unfortunately the unis are not rebuildable, you need to cut it off and weld a new one on. I replaced mine with a rebuildable one so at least I can do it cheaply next time

OK thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Just out of curiosity what did you use as a replacement ? I can try ratting one of my numerous Datsun spares but i'm nut sure if the yoke will mate up to the front pinion drive flange... My spares are over in Victoria still so just wondering.

Thanks again!

sorry....the shop just put on they had on there...not much use. It is a fair bit larger than the old one though.
