Be aware that these u-joints are designed to use "full-circle" snap rings and so will require a little machining of the ears of the yokes of stock shafts to allow the snap-rings to fit, or the use of custom D60 front shafts designed for full circle snap rings.
These ujoints are also much stronger than stock Spicer shaft yokes and are rebuildable.

Rumor has it that you can preload your bushing by adding as much as 1/8".  More may cause coil bind which is very hard on parts. An additional spring cup on the top of the spring adds about .060".

Dana 60 top Kingpin Removal

To remove the top kingpin use a 7/8" hex rod bent into a giant Allen key, or

cut down a chisel with a 7/8" hex backing, drop it in the kingpin so that enough is exposed for a heavy duty socket - and use a 3/4" drive socket on a t-bar with a cheater bar

Thing that don't work:

Several 7/8" nuts welded to a grade 8 bolt welded to a long bar - bolt and welds shear

Long chrome plated 7/8" (outer) lug nuts - outer corners get rounded off

1/2 drive ratchet, cheater bar and lug nut - 1/2 ratchet breaks

7/8" wrench, cheater bar and lug nut - wrench bends and/or rounds lug nut

Axle Shaft Outer Seal

Keeps dirt out of axle tubes on a Chevy Dana 60
