I shouldn't say this....I used an air chissel...got it out far enough I
could use a BFH from the front. I managed to destroy one of the bolt holes
in assembly the with the chissel which I had to fix. The guy that changed
them last time, whenever that was, managed to bend the yoke enough that it
required some force and ignorance to make it work. Wasn't a fun job...im not
the best wrencher but I'll try anything. Learned that I don't like changing
those u-joints though....

Harbor Freight sells a U-Joint tool kit, sure is easier that using a 3/4"
deep socket and a BFH.

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=38335

They go on sale now and they for $19.99, good for the shop and for trail
repairs. Also here is a link to a little better quality tool.
