No not those kind...what do people use to replace a u-joint on the trail or do you carry spares with the joints already pressed in...I was thinking about this as I replaced my u-joints last week on my front axle. I wouldn't think a c-clamp would work...I bent a decent clamp trying to press out the old u-joint. Then moved on to my vise with a cheater bar and I still used lots of pressure and a good whack with a hammer to make it pop loose...I thought maybe you could use a high lift jack and rig it up to press against the bottom of the bumper with the u-joint in between...but what have others used?

Yeah, I use the same tools on the trail I do in the shop: a hammer and a hard place.

I thought beating on them would be bad for them but it looks so much easier that way...next time I will be using this method...

Good write up, i always have a hard time explaining to people to take and beat on the yoke like that then flip it around and knock the other half out.

Even the most rusted ones come out easily that way

If you wanted to be nice to it, bring a socket, hammer, flat blade screwdriver, and a can of wd-40. Then go find a rock unless you've got a bumper mounted vice or some hillbilly stuff like that.
