Default BDR Broken U Joint?
Looking any any tips to replace a rear u joint (at the brake hub).

Experienced a loud banging under driver side rear while driving home from a parade yesterday. I first thought I had dropped a drive shaft. I pulled over and could not find anything hanging from the bottom (not that you can see much without a lift..).

I was able to nurse it home (2 - 3 miles). After pulling the rear driver side wheel, I noticed that I could slide the axle back and forth 2 inches. When I rotate the axle it bumps once per revolution right where the u joint is.

Haven't had time to look at it close yet. It there any secret to removing the rear assy?u joint boot?

I need to get fixed quick as the Good Guys car show will be here this weekend.

Thanks,
John
