Another "Help with removing my UCA" thread.

So guys. I'm putting on LR UCA's and I can't get the stock uca off. I got the back fine, but the front is fighting me. I took off the nut with the cotter pin under the joint,but it won't come off of that vertical spindle looking piece.

 

If you don't have a pickle fork just use a hammer to smack the top of the spindle on all sides around where the ball joint goes into it. the shock / vibration will pop it loose.

 

All right. I'll channel my inner Thor then....
Sweet. Thor one. F'ing b joint off. Thanks.

 

Just go get a a pickle fork and smack that mutha off. I beat on mine till I was about to pass out. Got the pickle fork out and was done in 15 seconds. I have a hard time beating on something that holds the wheel on. lol

 

It came off easy...once I hit the right spot.
