Remove 2 small "U" type clamps securing drive shaft into differntial yoke Make driveshaft position in relation sdto yoke and transfer case (to maintain factory balance) Driveshaft should either fall out or can be pried out of yoke and slid into transfer case enough to drop Remove drive shaft Old "U" joints can be pounded out of housing, but I find it easier to bring to auto part/machine shop and let them press new join into shaft Re-Install It's advisable to use new "U" clamps

Remove the rear U-Joint and be very careful not to loose caps or any needle bearings. Uses lock rings to hold it in place. Tape it together with duck tape. Now pull the drive shaft out of the transmission and remove the front U-Joint from the driveshaft and replace it. Reinstall in reverse order.
