Message	I've driven jump out of gear. If you do have a bad ujoint, that may not be the worst of your problems. To change U-joint: 1)remove circlips with circlip plier 2)get a big(8 or 10" min) C-clamp 3)put a socket that is gibber inside that the "spider"(center cross shaped part of Ujoint) on one side, and a socket slightly smaller than it on the other. 3)tighten clamp on the sockets. If you do it right, the small socket will push teh cros piece thru and into the other, larger socket. 4)assemble is reverse of dissasembly as they say.
