Ujoint maintenance

Post by roysuecan »

I'm replacing my pinion seal and have the driveshaft off. Should I pull the ujoints apart and clean/grease them or just let them go until they fail? How much of a PITA is it to get things back together? They're tight and move smoothly, the car has about 110,000 miles on it.
Thanks for any input you may have.
