Or your alternative Graham is to use a front Uni joint and place the used cups onto it provided they are not too badly warn, Its a way to beat the bastards charging you through the nose .
I think the front was under $20 and the rear around the $60 mark last time I replaced mine and they werent even the real thing Taiwanese crap , Heres a hint - keep them lubed up regularily "I didnt"

Ace when did you open up shop  ;D
What else do you trade in ?  ;D
That commodore I got off your shelf is coming along realy well , A little carried away and slow but realy well.

I get this all the time, before I was married with kids I was nearly going through them weekly. If your car is so low that the tailshaft scrapes the floor your unis tend to go quicker especailly If you do burnouts all the time.
It seems to be worse when you hit the 90 section when travelling between newcastle and Sydney. Harko is right about keeping them greased up, mine have never lasted long enough to dry out but I have had them dry out in other cars and they usually end up shattering the caps or crumbling the needle rollers. if the ol grey power tailshaft is so dear to get unis for ya gonna want to preserve them check around for prices to, I was used to getting them at peps (in newcastle) were they were about $20 each(EH red tailshaft) made in Japan or US (sometimes varied)they were about $32 at Holden and repco for simular looking ones but one day I tried supercheap and remember not only was it not in stock, but it was around double the price of peps, I laughed at the guy and said I would go to peps were I can get the lot for less, and walked out
