Well on my way home from Martha's Vinyard the other day my front U-joints when from a little ticking sound to full on loau tapping so... I guess time for new ones. I think i should consider my self lucky though, these ones have 10 years and 110 K miles of abuse on them, so...
My question is, does any one wanna give me a hand with these in the next couple weeks or so. I figure if we each tear down a side and then re-assemble, should be real quick!

I am in a wedding the day before, and If I party at that wedding the same as I do all of them, I won't be getting up too soon! But Thanks Chris! I think I am gonna start them this sunday if weather is decent and then take off monday to go have them pressed! (do you need to press the U joints in a D30? Only done D44'sbefore)

A press is great for removing them, but all I used to install a set was a bench vise and two impact sockets.

Ya I know, But I don't have a bench vice! and Napa is a mile away.
Repairs are on hold!!!! The radiator in the Omni went this morning, so I will be spending my weekend looking in junk yards for a new one!

if you have an extra pair of black pants, a black hoodie, and a ski mask to match, we could "get" you one tonight, but I dont know where to find another omni, they are rare, and usually well kept in alarmed garages...

John, if you buy a radiator will that double the value of the Omni. If you need any help count me in, if I am not working. I have the Sunday after Paragon off if that helps. Brian

Well, Napa had a radiator, and no it didn't double the value, close though!
Price of car- $200 Price of radiator- $129 Remote starter off ebay- $20 Eclipse radio that came out of a customers car and though it was broken and gave it to me but was only a fuse on the back and a dash kit- $16
Looking like P.W.T. every morning with no dignity left!
