Things are going better with the u-joints.

I took the yoke off the drive shaft spline end. Interesting.... There is 
an 1/8" vent hole in the end of the yoke. I suppose it's an air vent so 
the in/out movement of the spline is not impeded by a vacuum inside the 
spline. Interestingly enough, the tip of male end of the spline was full 
of dirt and crud across from the vent hole.

So here I am Mr. novice mechanic all paranoid about how clean I keep 
everything, and these guys design a dirt port into thing....
