U-joint removal
I have a 70 olds Cutlass Supreme convt. I recently had the TH350 rebuilt and I reinstalled last weekend. I bought new u-joints to replace them while I had the drive shaft out. However, I can't get the old u-joints off. They don't appear to be the originals nor do they have the "c" clip on the inside. I have some "plastic" tips on either side of the universal housing. Someone said that they used to melt plastic into the housings to hold the u-joints and the only way to get them out is to heat them with a torch and pound them out when the plastic melts. Anyone familiar with this?
