Doing the center U-joint bearing and carrier is a piece of cake. I could
do one in less than 1 hour and even have the puller to do it. Just over
$11 at Autozone. Should I bring the tools to OkieQ and do a demonstration?
Speakin of 123 driveshafts......does a 240 d/s match up with a 300D turbo?

The best bet is to probably just swap in a whole good used driveshaft
rather than mess with the U-joint. I have to replace the center support
on my wagon and I have not figured it out yet. Looks like I need a
puller but not sure if I want to mess with it. Thinking about just
parting out the wagon. Just put a new engine in it, rear suspension is
almost new, many new front end parts. But its ugly, has dents, and a
little rust. Not sure what it would sell for on ebay since its an ugly
wagon. Seems the wagons are going thru the roof right now.

DON'T mess with the center u-joint! I did, and it's not been right
since. It is straked in place with a special jig, and no one I've
found around here can balance the shaft if you replace it! There is an
outfit in California that does, but they want $600 or so....
