U-Joint Replacement

[jp1]

Does anyone have a How-To on changing out the u-joints on our KJ's?
I saw this http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/ujoint2/ujoint-3.htm.

But, I was kind of hoping for something more KJ specific.

Thanks!

Pretty much covers it,like to mark yokes for timing.

Pretty much it, just use the backside of the socket when you smack the snap ring in, and then tap a prybar or screwdriver against it to make sure it's seated

You can buy a tool that presses the u-joint out rather than pounding it but I don't happen to have one in my toolbox.

I haven't changed one on the Libby yet but I've often changed them on my YJ. Is it really that important to mark the position of it before removing the driveshaft?
