[6pack] U-joint removal, last trick in my book

[Ed Bratt]

John:

When faced with an impossible task--use penetrating oil.  Use real 
penetrating oil, not cheap junk solvent sprays.  Just apply two drops.  Let 
it sit for half a day.  Apply two more drops.  Repeat morning and evening. 
Then use the two sockets and a vise method.  I learned this from Bob, ( he 
said for 10 days) an  "old car restorer".  It should work, but is not fully 
guaranteed.  It worked for my brother on his MGB.

Heating it may have been a bad thing to do.   Heat can bake the grease into 
hard stuff.
