-John,
Believe it or not, I was reinstalling my u-joints this week, and guess what happened....
yep, you guessed it, a cap fell off, and the bearings went for a little trip. I ended up picking up all the needles, and cleaning, and greasing them,and reinstalled them.
A little note of trivia for y'all....
There are 33 needle bearings in the end caps.
Thanks for jinxing me.
Alan
GRRRRRR!!!

. All of the needle bearings are intact, so I can just clean, regrease and pop that sucker back on. I think that's the first good break I've had with this car

You silly wabbit!!!!
Youse guys ever here of tape? Use masking/'lectrical/duct/Scotch tape to hold the caps on the u-joints, and they won't be hiding from ya!
better late than never, eh?
