Are the U joints in the shaft the factory original? If so, they are held in place by injected nylon. I was able to get them out by heating the lobes with a propane torch. You will know when its hot enough, the nylon will expand and shoot out the injection holes like a snake. Then the joint can be driven out with a socket and hammer. Otherwise, you risk damage to the shaft, especially if its aluminum.
