Thanks to all for the advise on removing U-joints. Haven't tryed putting one 
back in yet, but I have gotten the old joints out of the axles. The second 
one only took about thirty minutes. 

While I've got the axle out, I thought it might be a good idea to tap a hole 
for a grease zerk at the yoke end of the axle. Although the axles moved 
easily and aren't worn, the grease was pretty dry. I don't plan on doing this 
overhaul again for quite a while and was thinking that a greasable axle would 
be a good idea.  

Has anyone done this?

Thanks,

Bud
