I don't think soaking Gease in PB Blaster restores the Grease.
I think what was achieved was a great diagnosis and a temp. fix. But, time will tell on that.
Way back in the early 1960s I remember someone saying Bikers used to put the Drive Chain in a Can of Grease and bring it to a Boil and that was supposed to Lube the Chain.
Perhaps the U-joint could be re-greased by imersing whole assembly in heated liquefied
Grease.
