Originally, my intent was only to R&R the U-Joint. The retaining clip had gone missing, and the bearing cup was working loose. I bought a Dana/Spicer universal at the parts store. After I got the old U-Joint off, an extra part fell out. A tin bearing cup, worn down diagonally and no bearings. Also the end of the Cardan coupler and the female end of the coupler on the NP205 TC end were really bashed.
I shot damage pix on my new smartphone, but don't know how to transfer them to the laptop's Pictures file, so I can post them on the furum.
I will have to reshoot with my digital camera to get clean images to post.
The old Prop Shaft's front Yoke to the D44 differential is good.

The damage was in the double-Cardan CV, which is included with whole-unit Prop Shafts. If the Double-Cardan Constant Velocity unit is available separately, I didn't see it.
