    I've got a '61 CJ6 with a PTO powered winch.
    I need to remove the shaft that goes to it. At each end of the shaft is a u-joint that is held is place with a hex screw and key. I got the screws out but the u-joint will not break free. I've sprayed it with PB Blaster and tryed hitting with a hammer to loosen it up, Put no luck. Am I missing something. It looks like it should just slide off.

    Thanks,

    Frank

    I'd say 46 years have taken their toll on it. You need heat, even a propane torch will do if you don't have access to a real set of torches. Get it good and hot, may take several cycles of heat and cooling. It'll come eventually.
