Original Balland trunnion u -joint

Pishta is right: you don't need to take apart the ball & trunnion U-joint to pull the engine and trans. Just remove the four nuts holding the front U-joint housing to the transmission output flange and lower the driveshaft. Depending on the condition of the B&T front joint -- most are quite worn at this late date -- you may want to consider, now or later, converting to a conventional front U-joint.

I used this conversion and it is slick.....ONE NOTE THOUGH: THE FLANGE YOKE PART NUMBER 2-2-329 LISTED IS INCORRECT .....THE CORRECT PART NUMBER IS: 2-2-349

In my opinion this is the only route to go.....get rid of the ball & trunion setup......the parts list was aprox $130.00 :glasses7:
