u-joints arent hard at all. just pop the clips and then use two different sized sockets in order to get it out. you need one big enough for the u-joint to fit in and one small enough to fit inside circle holes in the yoke. i wish i wrote down the sizes when i replaced the ones in a 4runner. be careful not to bend the ears, as they will bend rather easily. also be careful not to explode the joint w/ the press b/c its easy to do. it happened to me. the joint came right throught the end cap so i had to go to the boneyard and get another yoke. a press is the easiest way to do it but you can use a vice if you dont have one. but sometimes its just best, and safer to use a block of wood and a bfh along w/ the sockets. dont forget about the pb blaster i mentioned earlier either.
