I did replace the u-joints in my TR3A when I rebuilt my driveshaft.  Went 
fairly smoothly, got it right, but wanted to be sure about the balance.  I do 
recommend taking the final product to a place that balances driveshafts.  In my 
case, while I had installed the u-joints "okay," the professionals whacked the 
heck out of them to get them rotating smoothly and welded the frame of a Mack 
truck onto the shaft as a balance weight.  Don't want a shimmy at high speeds 
if you kick it to a hundred like I did (not so unintentionally) on the way home 
tonight.

Man, I love this car!
