well, either you have CV joints or a drive shaft. if its a drive shaft you replace the universal joints just like you would on you rear drive shaft. if you are talking about the axle universals on a 4x4 you have to start by removing the brake rotor this would be a good time change the bearings, even if the dont need to be it will be a good preventive messure. from there you be able to see the outer axle assembly and the u-joint check for retaining clips either on the u-joint caps or toward inside behind the yolk eyes. remove the the retaining clips and use a BRASS hammer and maybe an old socket that is just a bit smaller than your u-joint caps and knock the u-joint out, this may take a little bit of strong fanese and a few choice word( i found that helps). when installing new part it helps to have a large C-clamp to press caps in place. hope this helps
