U-Joint install

[kwedberg]

I need to replace by left front U-Joint per the shop and they want $237 to do it, $162 labor and $75 for the part. Has anyone done this replacement? How tough was it? I am considering taking this on myself. thanks

It is very easy unless the axle is seized to the unit bearing on the rotor, then it can become quite a challenge. A search here will pull up much info on the procedure.
