u joints

Yeah, "beat" is not the correct term. Firm tapping or a vise is better.

Forgot to mention that a buddy rented a tool from local place where he bought the u joints. He said it was a c shaped tool. I assume it was similar to this one.

Yeah, I literally used to "beat" mine out. But I ruined a few that way, buddy told me the vice method and it is so much easier that way. Just gotta make sure the needle bearings dont fall down during installation.
