Removing driveshaft
Hello, I've got the dreaded clunking which no amount of grease seems to be able to cure. So, I've been thinking about removing the driveshft to disassemble, clean and repack with the right amoubt of grease.
Any tips anyone can offer for doing this other than simply marking the DS position on the yokes before removing and disassembling? Recommendations for grease? I have been using a moly grease as recommended but the only one autozone carries is specifically for Chrysler vehicles. Could this be my issue? Wrong type of grease? Thanks!

Take some pics before you start, so you can remember the phase of the driveshaft should the slip joint separate while you've got it out, and the order of any washers, etc. Use a grease pen to mark the yokes and flanges so you can put it back the same way you found it. Make sure you don't let it drop either, I know a guy missing some front teeth from that!
