That is just the best. His facial expression, both of your accents and the tweaked off center 60 steering wheel. That and the rootbeer brown. Best color by far. My first 60 was rootbeer brown. And the stripes are kickass.
Difficult isn't the word. Wish I'd thought to replace mine when I had everything open and off. It wasn't too pretty. The things I learn when I dig deeper into Mud. Ah, well fingers crossed. Stuff is all reinstalled but now I know incase it doesn't hold.The metal line that goes from the water pump to the lower radiator hose (or any of the three coolant hoses that connect to it) is a common culprit for a coolant leak, mostly because it's buried and difficult to repair/replace.
How easy was using the ball joint press? I've never used one. Have always used either a BFH and sockets or my hydraulic press with sockets.
Great pix. Thanks for that. The press looks really easy and simple. Makes perfect sense to me. Can't be an expensive tool.I'm sure it's easier to do with a shop press but this solution was waaaayyy easier than the old hammer and socket method. I'd say this is the quickest way to do it if you don't have a good way to support the shaft. It would be a great way to do it on the trail and I'd wager that even the cheap Harbor Freight tools could easily press these out. I have a thing against whacking new bearings with a BFH. Not going to do it that way anymore.

I did an oil change on the Turd last week and hit all the grease zerks. I noticed a little slop in the rearmost driveshaft u-joint so I decided to replace it. I placed my order with @reevesci (Trail Tailor) and received a new Toyo universal joint. I must say that I am really impressed with these u-joints. They are nicely packaged and, for a part that hardly ever gets noticed, they are beautiful pieces. The joint is greaseable. There is a zerk. I just didn't get it in the pic.

I rented a Ball Joint / U-Joint press from my local Advance auto. Pressed out the old and pressed in the new.

I hit the shaft with a coat of paint and it's ready to go back in.
