Live and learn. I asked resident Heep god Kurt about fixing this and he not only gave me instructions so easy even I can follow them (except I'm not big on visualizing

So here's Kurt's step by step, and a link with pics, to help you "see" what needs to be done
Thanks again Kurt!

The assembly has a spring under it pushing toward the outermost U-Joint caps.
Just work a screwdriver between the u-joint cap and the assembly and it will spring back.
Now work the bearing cap off.
Repeat for the other bearing cap.
Next remove the two snap rings retaining the other two u-joint caps.
Press/hammer the u-joint out of the "H" assembly. You may have to push the old centering assembly back to get the u-joint out.
Once the u-joint is out the old centering assembly will just lift out if it doesn't fall out.
If your new assembly doesn't have a spring in it be sure to transfer the spring from the old centering assembly to the new one.
Installation is just the reverse of the above steps.
Grease it up well while you have access to the needle fitting.
