universal joint question

Was wondering if anyone knows it the center universal joint is replaceable,I pulled the shaft tonight to change the support bearing
and the u-joint was very tight and notchy.
So i want to replace it.
part number would be great.Thanks

I used Portland Driveline. They charge about half the price of a new driveshaft to rebuild yours with a replaceable ujoint and rebalance it as an assembly. They have done 3 German driveshafts for me. I don't know what their website is off hand, but if you google them, it's pretty easy to find.
