SupporterDon't replace just the ball .. replace the entire assembly .. ball and cup. Cup is(or can be) a major pain .. some seem to come out more easily, we had to chisel ours out with a lot of care not to damage the cage.
Parts to google are:
Precision 617, Hardy Spicer SCV-082B and EAC E470081.
All those kits are complete.
I got 3 of those EAC from that source.
Problem was postage costs for a single unit to Aus, from the UK.
With the 3 kits tho that cost became largely irrelevant when landed.
Ended up costing about $35 each.
I'd say you may be better off trying to locate a Hardy Spicer unit locally for a single unit tho.

SubscriberI have a reepair kit, it has a spring for the centre joint. I do not recall seeing a pin.

Supporterthe pin is part of the central yoke/cage part (between the two unis).
you only see it when you have the uni and the ball joint off. The spring inserts into the pin.

SubscriberI've taken one uni joint apart. I do not see a pin. Are these replaceable?

SupporterAt the cardan end, when you remove the uni on the shaft side of the yoke, the shaft yoke end has a guide pin that inserts into the ball joint, and the spring goes into the pin.
There should also be a rubbery protector thing that fits onto the shaft to help keep debris off the balljoint.
The other yoke that has the flange on it(transfer case end) houses the cardan ball joint.
Was looking through the tom woods website(man they're expensive!) .. and they have a reference to a wide angle double cardan shaft, with heavy duty cardan joint.
Main page on the Tom Woods site. Scroll down and look for the BAMF shaft, where they claim it has a 0.750" stud(they call it a stud, I have no idea what it's technical term is, so stud, or pin .. makes no difference).
On that same page, they state that this 0.750" stud and that 'others'(meaning other cardan joints) use a 0.500" stud.
So, the chances are that the stud/pin is most likely 0.500" in size. Can't confirm now as ours has been built, and sent to mechanic to fit(along with some other works on the D2).
