4 bolts holding 2 straps in place that hold your u-joint to the yoke. Remove those, insert prybar between u-joint and pinion nut and pry away, it should come pretty easily. A hammer might help too.

Man Blue, didn't know you were down, just read whole thread. My rear end went last summer, second time since new, 2006, 2012, and thank you warranty, but the job would have cost a stack, and the guy that did it the second time is top notch in Lansing IL, Trans Pro. He rebuilds them and work on mostly race cars, he be ldown at Route 66.

Yeap. Redo whole truck for 3K and saw a few cars inside that he charged that price for, not bad at all for the work he is going to put into it, good price since he does business with my cousin.
