These things are driving my crazy! I went to change the plugs today in my shop, figured they pull out, or twist out, or something. Guess not. I tried the vise grips, channel locks, twisting and pulling, yanking, cussing. Didnt work. Whats the trick to remove these damned things without too much collateral damage? I finally got all the parts together, Rancho suspension, already had a 3 inch lift, so they will look nice installed, plugs wires, cap, and rotor, ran some good *** cleaner through the intake/brake booster vacume, and i have another problem as well! The front u joints are completely shot. I can turn the front drive shaft and theres about a quarter inch of travel in the u joints!! How the hell do i replace these?? Maby someone has a manual they can scan, I have a 94 with a 360 4x4 shorty, aka heavy half.

Tighten a heater hose clamp around the shield and they should just pull right out.

So, what take a clamp off the heater core hose? Or just a regular hose clamp? Got dozens of them sittin around the shop......... also ive found a how to for the u joints, just dont know how to seperate the split axle i guess. Something in the front diff i suppose.... Just the how and where? Maby someones got some pictures or something.

yeah just an old skool heater hose clamp, not the new style

You remove the wheels, calipers,rotors, hub/bearing assemblies, then the axles just slide out.
