I took my driveshaft out of my 82 and after looking at it I figured I would save myself the hassle and just take the drive shaft and the new joints to a good shop. $50 and I'm sure a lot of saved aggrevation and I was back on the road. Be sure to mark the drive shaft pieces in relation to eachother as they are balanced as a unit. I think it is recommeded to repalce the flange nuts and bolts as well. Finally be careful with the splined shaft when you have the driveshaft out. Ask me how I know. Others may disgree, but my vote is take out the drive shaft and have a shop do it. Ohh and another thing, you will want to replace the center bearing and carrier while you have the driveshaft out. Its doest cost much and the shop can remove the bearingas it is pressed on the driveshaft. Dont waste your time with a crappy bearing.. get the SKF.
