It is not that hard of a job.

Well, provided you have proper tools.

I have found a heavy vise to be very helpful in holding the driveshaft.

When it comes to the axles, it is a little more of an issue to replace.

But, a socket that fits within the u-joint can be used to pound out the old ones. Squirt a lot of WD-40 or some other rust breaking solution to make it easier.
