Considering what will be involved, just pull the drive shaft and replace all the flex discs and the front and rear ball bushings and all new spiral pins. You won't have to worry about it again for 15 maybe 20 years. I just did the whole thing to my 1711 late last year. Also to get the drive shaft out, you will need to loosen the four engine mount bolts and move the motor forward enough to make room to pull the drive shaft out.
