So I am trying to tackle changing out the u joint on the front and rear prop shafts for the first time on my 300K mileage '80.
I just finally managed to get those fk'ers off the front prop out of there with the hammer method, and low and behold, the bearing races look pretty destroyed (and i mean like really no bueno). I can't find any info on replacing u joint races anywhere... does anyone have experience with this? Or is the best thing to get some fine sandpaper and clean it up as much as possible, hammer the new ones back in and call it a day?
