Both the UJ's on my 13/60 Heralds propshaft are rusted solid as are the circlips that hold them in. The little lugs on the circlip which are there to help
you remove them just break if any kind of force is used. The yokes (not sue if this is the right term) on each end are quite badly pitted with rust
also.
Given this do you think I should persist in trying to remove the UJ's (and if so does anyone have any suggestions on how?) or is the prop passed it's best
and in need of replacement.
Many thanks
Darren

The UJ's should be removed using pressure in a wide opening vice.
Smaller sized (old) sockets can be used, and the broken pieces of circlips will fall out.
Even if you don't use the propshaft again, and unless it is damaged, I see no reason why not?
You should try and save the flanges, as they are not making them any more, and they do get damaged.
