I really think
That for the DIY there is only one way and that is to replace the entire half shaft. I believe almost all the 82 to 85's take the same half shafts, hooked to the differential with an easily removed "c" clip and with an 8mm bolt through the hub center into the shaft. One of our members wrote an excellent article telling you your every move, and the simple tools needed. Work safe though, and get that rear up in the air and use good jackstands. If you used reconditioned shafts, it runs about $125.00 a side and then it is done right.
