[blkmazda90]

ok well I have the rear drive shaft with the constant velocity joint with the two u-joints and it needs to be replaced. i bought the kit and the 3 U joints today. has anyone ever change one these joints before??

Any info would be of help?

you'll need a good bench vise and a couple of sockets a bit smaller than the joint.put them in the vise and press them in .OR- this is how I did mine after my vise broke in three places,cut the middle part of the old joint out with a grinder,heat the joint ends up with a torch(I had to put the end of my driveshaft in the woodstove,no torch)once they are red hot a tap with a hammer and chisel should pop them right out.
