[TR] installing a u-joint

[Jim Muller]

Some advice please.  Are there any tricks to installing a u-joint 
properly without making a total botch of it?  I've done one or two on 
a driveshaft, but I can't say I did them well or even right at all.  
They would not finish moving into place without rather too much 
force, or so it seemed.  (Since the driveshaft needed splines and 
some balancing anyway, I then let a decent driveshaft shop do it 
right.)

Thanks,
