I hope this helps. I don't know if things are rusty under there, but if so, try mixing a good penetrant with some grease. Mix it to good paste that has plenty of penetrant, but will stay put. This keeps the fastener coated with penetrant and it won't dry out overnight, or if you miss spraying it for a day or two. Of course, this works if you don't drive it. On a u-joint that spins, this will have a minimal effect. But if you can let it sit for some time, I've found this to be helpful. Best of luck with the repair.
