vette 1/2 shaft joints can be a PITA depending on who did the last ones. You'll need to check the flange for being bent they bend very easily when you're hammering or pressing them out. Use a torch and burn them out and bolt the flanges to a tool or flat stock before working on them. If you're going to use Spicers then the flange have to be flat or you won't get them to fit. If you have a question let me know.
