That was good advice bczoom. I have ordered form messicks before so I found my password and got the parts diagram for the 2006 and then checked it against the part numbers for the one I was looking at and it was a match, so I pulled the trigger, and should have it by about friday. The thread bordercollie listed is a life saver as well. I remember when I first had u joint trouble and found this site and that thread...I had much the same trouble the first time getting my axle apart as she did. This time it came apart easily, as I put never seize on the splines as everything else that I thought might need it. It will get another dose next weekend when I put it back together again. The joint that got me this time was one that I did not change last time. I know this as it did not have a grease fitting. I will check the joints in the axle I get as see if they have any slack....if they do I will order some u joints for them. Once again thanks for your assistance. Banjo
