In peskin p. 160 forth paragraph they say to verefy Ward identity in equation 5.74.
I don't succeed, they say some algebra is needed. I conjecture that this some algebra is what i miss.
Any help will be appreciated - thanks a lot.

Remember that ##\not k \not k = 0## and that from momentum conservation ## k' - k = p - p'##

So you may end up with something like ##\bar{u}(p') (\not p - \not p') u(p')##, which you can use equation of motion to get ##m-m = 0##.
 
Hurray... It got solved.
Many many thank's.
