Replacing Universal Joints
Hi, we have two 99 F150's where I work and they both need new u-joints. One is 4X4 and the other is two wheel drive. Both are automatic trans, 4.6L
I know how to remove the driveshaft from the vehicle, but have never changed u-joints. Is there any special tool or technique required to drive them out? Thanks.

Don't forget before you remove the drive shafts to use a marker to mark the relation of the shaft and the slip yoke(they are balanced) Oh yea, a little PB helps too.

I was refering to marking the Drive Shaft/Differential Pinion Flange before you remove the bolts holding both together so they get reinstalled in the same exact position that you removed them. These marks ensure that the drive shafts dynamic balance will be restored when the driveshaft is installed again.
