If you need to keep fixing it every so often, and if there is room there, you might be able to replace it with a Dodge (not the car company) Para-flex coupling. They are like a tire which has been cut straight across to allow it to be opened up and put into place. The bead of the "tire" is pinched between an inner and outer part of the rim, and there is one of these rims on the end of each of the two shafts being coupled. The tire is the only connection between the shafts. These things are tolerent of end float, shafts which are not parallel, and shafts parallel, but not in exactly the same plane. They seem to last great even when the conditions are not within their engineering tolerences. They are not free, but it's nice to install it and forget about it.
