<VV> squeak and chirp (c)

[Harry Yarnell]

Yes, a pry of some sort will be required. Just make sure that when the
U-joints pop out of the yolks, that you don't loose any of the needle
bearings that will fall out of the joint cups as it comes loose. Sometimes
the whole u-joint will pop out as an assy, but sometimes it doesn't.
