2004 Hilux front prop shaft

[openspaceman]

Has anyone here had to replace a hilux front propshaft or are there still firms that  re manufacture them?

 

I ask because having crawled under a friend's which has recently failed the MOT on "prop shaft bearing likely to break up" amongst other things it looks like the UJs aren't serviceable. I had this on my 1987 one but a chap refitted the spiders and managed to fit 2 circlips.

 

Else Milners want 300 quid for a new shaft.

 

I have a couple of other questions if anyone here is experienced with Hilux of this era.

I think the splines may be shot also. I'll get it out over the next week or so and maybe show you for your opinion.
