U joint = bad day.


I finally got around to pulling the drive shaft so that i could replace the worn u joint closest to the tranny.
This was my first time ever attempting to replace a u joint but figured it couldnt be too hard.... I spent 3 hours and finally thought i had everything squared away. she ran fine till i got to the end of my block then I heard a loud clank and saw the bearing caps fly from under the truck!!!! what a day.
I'm thinking about letting the mechanic deal with it tomorrow. any one have any good tips that might have helped me complete this task alot smoother???

sorry guys, i had to rant.
