There are two sets of instructions, the pdf that's floating around and an online one.

Frank, there are advance auto stores in Memphis so that would be the best place to get the parts. Neapco/PDQ 1-0005 u-joints x3 and 7-0081NG.

In the PDF (I've attached it as the old link only works if you have an account on the external site) it states that Spicer doesn't make the 5-4x u-joints. Since I gave Kevin that information Spicer has dropped that part number entirely.

when did Spicer drop it?

I can't find where I wrote it down, but it was early in 2008 as I recall.

Yeah, musta been old stock. When I talked to Spicer a few weeks ago they couldn't even find any record of distributors having ordered any in the year previous to them dropping the part.
