First, remove drive shaft. unbolt u-joint "straps" ; a bent metal bracket with two bolts attaching to rear yoke. Mark location on driveshaft and on the yoke for position( permanent marker works well, or a paint pen). Slide driveshaft out of the back of the transmission (or t-case if 4x4). The u joint end caps are usually "plastic injected"... meaning you have to heat them with a torch and bang on them with a hammer. if they are plastic injected you can see a little plastic dot on the side of the u joint. To re-install, you'll need a clamp or a vise and a socket to press in the end caps. put u joint in the drive shaft. Place both end caps in the holes covering the u joint ends, put a socket on the rear cap, and clamp them both in. reverse those above steps and you'll have it back in the truck in no time. hope this helps
