driveshaft bearing

[Denis]

  I remove the bad U joints and one of my drivinge was so hard to get out i need to heat a little and use an hammer on the puller to knock once,,, after i did it with the puller and come out easily.

  The other driving shaft parted out easily.
  I never used the longer bolt cause anyway i needed to remove the U-joint first.

    The yoke will slide off the shaft by using same size bolt but longer as 
    an extractor (support it against UJ), and assemble the shaft by pulling  
    the shaft with the bolt against original thick washer. No need to heat 
    anything, and definitelly no hammer blows and brute force stuff.
