Arrow Drive shaft rebuild questions

Ok so my 00 dicso's front drive shaft started squeeking last time I went wheeling, I figgured I had gotten dirt in the centering ball so after taking it out cleaning and regreesing it the noise was gone. About 3 days later on the way home there came a click that turned into a pop so the shaft came back out and I replaced the 3 ujoints cleaned everything and greassed the new joints bolted her back up and she was good to go..well untill about 2 miles down the road and now there's a lighter clicking? The only thing I can thing of now is maby the centering ball I cleaned, inspected the needles and greesed them? But didn't see a way to replace them? Anyone here replaced the centering ball or the bearing in them?
By the way the drive shaft is a heavy duty from great bason rovers. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance

Sure you can replace the centering ball, it is the hardest part of the job and you may just want to pay a driveline shop to do it.

How's is done? I saw and remover a cap on the ball but it still
didn't wanna come out lol and I didn't wanna force it as I can't seem to get a hold of the shop that sold the shaft.
