[/QUOTE]You could always remove the axle and take it in to a shop and have them change the U-joint if you don't want to hassle that one. 25 years ago it cost a 12 pack.[/QUOTE]

I hate to admit it, but there were some c-clips in there that I couldn't get out So I ended up bringing it to a local shop by me and they popped it out for an ice cold 2 liter and a couple of cups (I always bring the little tid bit stuff I can't get over there so they are kinda used to it by now).

But for the OP just try doing the one side, and see what you think. Maybe yours will be easier than some but who knows. All in all it is a job you can do yourself.

I needed a "fresh edge" on my chisel to get one or two of them.
