Are the above recommended?

Nearside joint is starting to click on RH bend so I think its time to change it.

Fitted a few from that company and they seem ok to me, recently did one on my rover 25 but paid 3 times that because i was desperate!

Thanks for the feedback ch427

I forgot to ask, how is the joint removed from the drive shaft when disassembling?

It has a spring type retainer holding it on, you hit the back of the joint towards you with a copper mallet or similar. A short sharp blow and it should pop off, you will need to hold the driveshaft as you do this.
