So GM feels the need to inject nylon into their U joints for retention

On the plus side, when you take a propane torch to them, you get to watch it poop out like a play-doh fun factory. 90 degrees may be too hot for this kind of work though. U joints are out!

Some are better than others gonna take a 30 min break, then try to clean and reinstall.

Needle bearings always scare me. It’s an irrational fear, but I just assume they are going to go flying everywhere regardless of how much grease is holding them in.

At least the fresh grease is a little tackier

Mine had nylon AND clip retainers. For some reason.

Well, at least they weren’t tack-welded on top of all that.

Thankfully, no. But it’s popped up a couple of times   on JRitS.  I hope to never encounter it in person.
