Universal Joint Replacement

I need to replace the rear universal joint on my driveshaft. I already got the new one, but now I have no clue how to get the old one off. Has anyone done this?

Its not hard to do if you have a shop press. Me and my friends dad did mine awhile back. A shop will probably charhe your 75 to do it.

If you are strong enough a c-clamp will work.

bench vise or c clamp to install, socket and BFH to remove, if they're factory you'll need a torch.
