he money saved on a single u-joint swap on a corvette will pay for the press
the local machine shop wanted $20 EACH just to press out and re-install the U-joints, with ME supplying the u-joints or $40 each if they supplied the u-joints, keep in mind theres 6 u-joints in a corvette, two on the drive shaft and two on EACH half shaft, and if ones bad thru normal wear and mileage then the others have significant mileage on them and should be replaced at the same time
