Steering Wheel Turns...Wheels Don't

thanks for all the advice. pretty easy job in the end. a few tips for anyone else doing this.
1. the bolts that tighten the steering u joint (theres 4 of them, 2 per u joint) don't need to be tightened very tight. just snug. i believe this is an aluminum u joint and the threads can strip easily
2. to take the bottom u joint off (the one connected to the steering box) just loosen the bolt connected to the steering column all the way out, use a screwdriver to loosen the fitting and pull up towards the column. Then lift the column and slide the u joint off.
15 minute job.
