Then as you will be able to see you can just pull the axle shaft out. Just be very careful of the seals inside. Once you have the shaft out you have to get the c-clips off of the inside of the pivoting part. ( there are four all together) and then you need to beat the caps out of the holes there pressed into from the inside beat them outward. Once you get two out it gets easyer lol. After all the caps are out and there are needle bearings everywhere lol with the new u joint take off two opposing caps( be careful of the needle bearings inside) and place one of the cap less ends into the hole on either part of the shaft you pick up first once in place the cap with the needle bearings in from the outside over the male end of the joint in the shaft and carefully tap it down into the hole on the shaft, then repeat to get the other half connected. Once all four caps are on the joint and seated so there almost flush with the hole there in, make sure the joint moves freely if not take your hammer and firm but carefully smack about a inch down from where the cap is pressed in( sorry this is kinda hard to describe lol) and it will loosen it up. Then your done with that shaft. BTW you can only take out the pass. Side if you have the disconnect axle if you don't have the disconnect then I'm pretty sure there held in by c-clips, but you can still replace the u joint it just a bit harder Sorry this is way long lol just trying to help best I can Member

What sound does a uA bad u-joint can cause a clunking sound or jerkiness while driving, particularly when letting off of and pressing the accelerator.
