is it not worth just buying a new uj? you can take the nipple off for now and have a spare in case it goes pop

And dont forget the tool for removing the snapped bit, the nipple clamp

wouldnt wait until they go bang. they can make a bit of a mess if they do apparently.

mine is getting new ujs today after a clicking noise, filled with grease and all quiet but im sure every now and then i can still hear it.

If they go they can cause more damage than the £10 they would have cost you.
