Mark position of drive shaft and yoke - to install in the same position (not to upset balance) Remove and discard small "U" bolts on yoke Slide drive shaft up spline end to dislodge drive shaft from yoke. You can either "beat" U join out of shaft, but better to bring to auto parts store that has a machine shop to install new joint Use new "U" bolts to install Make sure "U" joint is fully seated in yoke and installed in same position as removed

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.
