Joe,

You shouldn't have to replace the u-joints if they has been serviced (greased) over the last 40 years.



All you will need is a new flex disc and the center bearing and cushion at number 2 above. You can also replace the spline seal number 6 easily. A centering bushing number 3 can also be replaced but might not be necessary.

Just remember to mark your driveshaft orientation if you pull it apart to replace the center bearing and cushion. Make sure you are able to get the splines put back together as they came apart as the whole assembly is balanced as a unit.

Good luck.

Regards,
