Long before I came across that thread I had replaced the U-joint on my own drive shaft. There is 2 threads on how to do that. The U-joint is still available.

Also besides the Flex Discs in the center of each end of the drive shaft is a centering bearing. It is a tube with a seal and a bearing inside. If replacing them is not need they do need to be lubed inside.
