yep, UJ needle bearings all over the floor. I found a slightly easier way to get the UJs out was to knock the UJ until the "bottom" bearing fell out, at this point the "top" bearing has also come out, but cant be got out as it fouls the shaft. I ground the edge off the bearing and manipulated it out, I'm not a fan of hitting things and my arm was aching!

Good news about the chassis, I have mine in the garage but havent fixed anything too it yet - still cleaning suspension.
