Re: Drive shaft lube - too much grease, whoops.
It comes right apart. Just mark the yoke and the splined shaft so that you install it in the exact same orientation to each other. No sense in taking a chance on a vibration. You only want a thin layer of grease to cover all the splines so it doesn't bind, that's all. A teflon based grease is the best for this but it isn't often carried by local parts stores. GM has a teflon spec'd grease for their slip yokes.
If there's a way that you can exert enough pressure on the driveshaft to compress the slip yoke coupling slowly, it should squeeze all the excess grease out thru the splines. But, with as much grease as you pumped in, that might be very difficult to do.
As a rule of thumb, whenever your greasing zerks on a regular basis, they shouldn't take more than 2-4 pumps.
