U joint replacement tips needed

[apache67]

Hey Guys,

I just dropped my drive shaft (lowered actually) and am in the process of removing the u joints. And wouldn't you know, they are the type with the inside clips $#@%^&&**!! (types with outside clips are a cinch to get out)

Does anybody know of a good technique or youtube video demonstrating the removal of these inside clips? Pictures or videos would be ideal.

Also, I noticed that there are only two balance weights on my drive shaft. Do the 2WD 2001 Limited driveshafts only have two weights from the factory?

Thanks Much!

Use a couple screwdrivers and they will come right out. It's not that bad really. You can also use one set of channel locks and a screwdriver just the same.

My DS only has 1 weight, not sure why you would be concerned about 2.
