Hi Tims37, This may be the long way around, but until I am proficient with Chevy Chat II, this is the only way I know how to do it. Click on the link below and then scroll down to entry 89919, 16 Mar 03, and within that page scroll further down until you find the discussion about U-Joints. "School is in Session"

Make your own special tool; it is just a thick wire two pronged fork with a loop at the handle. Use a rubber band or chain thru the loop to tension it to the gear shift lever. The fork prongs go behind the U joint front plate and holds it place until you get the bolts started.
34 & 35 trucks are the greatest. 36 high cabs are OK too.

I never remember where my vise grips are! So I use what ever is handy.
