I removed my worn out u-joint without removing the swing arm.
I wanted to replace the rubber boot and see if there was any other damage. I think that the boot may have come loose or otherwise let water into the u-joint, as the u-joint and front splines on the driveshaft were dry as a bone. I also wanted to replace the swingarm bearings.

My splines were dry too however, i read up a bit and decided not to replace the swing arm bearings. I'm at 89,000 miles and hope I won't have another issue with the U-joint. Thus far I plan on putting at least 150K on the bike.
