    How does one test to see if these are ready to fail? I'd rather not lose drive in the middle of nowhere.

    It takes 5 -10 minutes (each) to take the drive flange off and have a look at the splines for wear.

    ...and what you are looking for in a worn one is rotational movement between the driving member (CV shaft) and the driven member. Also a close visual inspection of the shaft and driven member splines will show any wear as a decrease in their thickness, thus allowing for rotation against each other. There should be next to nothing in their movement.

    Glad to hear that is has worked out simply for you.
