i tried this once not too much hassel it will cost you about 80 ish for new uni joints ... though when pulling it apart there is a ball in the center of the double cardinal joint with bearings inside it mine exploded and shot all the bearings out and i could not find another ball anywhere in the end i went and bought a ute front tailshaft (works a treat and is a bit beefier)
