I think I've got worn u-joints in one of my Datsuns, plus I've never 
changed or inspected a u-joint.  I bet most if not all of them are 30+ 
years old.  So I bought u-joints at AutoZone (p/n 1-0027) and it has a 
zerk fitting for greasing.  I don't recall any of mine having a zerk 
fitting; does this sound like the correct one?  It is listed as the 
driveshaft u-joint for a bunch of Datsuns including 240z, 521, etc.  
Also, do I need any special tools?  Some websites talk about tapping the 
old one out, it doesn't look too hard...  Any first-hand gotchas in 
u-joint replacement?
