Ok, the squealing noise in my rear end returned even after greasing the area
liberally inside and out.
;-)
So, I dropped the prop shaft. As I suspected, one axis of the rearmost
u-joint is "frozen" as far as my hands trying to budge it go. The engine and
tranny get it to move, but with that squeak-squeak sound.
Now that I've got the Circlips out, I cant get anything else unstuck. Can't
figure out how to get the caps out of the yokes. I figured I'd squeeze them
out by clamping down on one cap and hoping it would pop out the other side.
I guess I must first soak in hot water and Simple Green, then apply liberal
doses of PB Blaster...
Any ideas for a bitch of a u-joint will be handy...
I don't have a press of any sort, no 12" lathe, no oxy acetylene torch...
Have BFH and diminishing supply of beer and patience. <grins>
--pat.
