The port does make the greaseable joints weaker, i just got 80k miles out of non greasable joints.

There is a few places online you can get them that have cheap shipping. Or you can order them directly from Adams if you want to. I think shipping is like $5.95 or $7.95 for each u joint which was the downfall.

Ordering 4 from amazon with free shipping for $16.00 each...not too bad

Just looked it up. I paid $10 a piece and $15 for shipping for three u-joints. The place I ordered from is called truckhelp.

So went to pull the the rocker skins today to sand them down and paint them...yeah not gonna happen
Sliders are in the way on some of the bolts, others are stripped or rusted in bad
Anyone have tips on how to get the old nutserts out? Prolly gonna just drill all the heads off and redo them if that's not Extreemly hard

The only thing I have ever done with stripped or old nutserts is tack weld them in place and retap. I don't know if there is enough material to helicoil them? :thinking:

Did you try an impact just to break them loose? Although that might break the nutsert loose too I suppose.

It's been mentioned before, but for the ones that you can't get to due to the sliders being in the way, others have loosened the body mounts and jacked up one side of the tub at a time. Lift up each side of the tub just enough that the nutserts heads clear the sliders for hopefully an allen wrench or worse case, a drill.

I was thinking about doing that, but most of them ended up just stripping even with the correct allen key. Im going to just spray over them today better than I did yesterday once I tape everything off. I don't mind not seeing the bolts till I have time to redo them fully. Wish I would have thought ahead and used some antiseeze on them the first time around.
I misunderstood what you had going on.... While I have a full set of left handed drills and EZ-Outs. I have had great success with these ->

hmm last time I used a set of those they all snapped on me...maybe ill get a better set this time.
oh steve next time I see you ill bring along the nutsert tool and we can re do the one you have that spins, I did that on 2 (well just used the skin and made them a little tighter in the hole and it works well).

So got the rotopax today...missing one mount or it would be on. Ended up using the genright clamps I already had, which of course wouldn't work with the studs so ended up welding them to the mounting plate. Not pretty but it'll be hidden and should be strong. Gonna figure out a way to test that somehow tho.
I was gonna do a few nutserts but couldn't get it ligned up well with any of the holes so this was option one and I'm sure I'll redo it.
Pics tomorrow when it cools down.

Learned today that I got lucky with getting my rear axle shaft under warranty for the bent flange...just have no faith in them anymore to not happen again since it was on maybe a week. Is Yukon a bad brand?
Prolly gonna only mall crawl for a while till I think about parting or selling it.
