Axle Shaft Trouble...
So I knew I had a U-joint seizing up on the front driver's side axle shaft. After reading some write-ups and watching videos I decided to do it myself. All went fine until I actually got to the joint removal. It was so seized up and rusted on I couldn't get it of with a BFH. So I moved on to the hydraulic press. It basically crushed the cap and shattered bearings everywhere. Finally got all the caps off and the joint still won't come out. I think it took enough force to remove the U-joint it actually bent the part of the shaft it fits into... WTF do I do now?
