I am trying to remove the steering linkage to replace the sterring u-joints. I replace the rack, tie rod ends and balljoints and the car drove great for about 2 weeks and then the steering u-joints went.
Someone told me that in their shop they use an air hammer to force it down on the splines one way and then back the other way until it is off. I am having a really hard getting to mine at all as there is not much room to get at it.
Also those u-joints seem pretty pricey, would it be worth it to find a 240 with good ones and just pull the whole assembly? Will the whole 240 series be intechangable?
