steering column u-joint

Does anyone know where i can get a u-joint for the lower steering column shaft other than a junkyard? I do need some help in taking it off and reinstalling it too and the manuals dont cover that portion. There is a lot of steering play everything checks out but that u-joint. its in REAL CRAPPY CONDITION! like to get some advice rather than for example to use an impact on installing a crank pulley then putting all together and starting it wondering what the hell is that knocking noise. then say oh yea #@%!^$@!%!%!$!$!%^!^!$^!@##%^*&!P^!@&%(!#!*(!%!&#* !(!%&!*(%!)#&&##%^!!!!!

to get it off, you have to take the bolt completely out of the ujoint at the rack, undo the four bolts at the steering coupler and it should pull right off, if it doesnt, use a flat head screw driver to carefully pry it, if that still doesnt work, get some PB blaster and let it soak for a couple minutes.
