Some massaging may be required.
I’ve swapped three of these. All but one, the new joint fit without issue.
The odd one, I first groomed the end of the shaft with the cutoff wheel (using it as a grinder); perhaps I could have used a vise or a press to re-shape the shaft to the proper dimensions. Then, I tapped the joint onto the shaft carefully, using an air hammer (using low air pressure, and tapping against the base of the U-joint to drive it onto the shaft, i.e., not tapping through the U-joint spider).
