I have found that there is a much easier way to remove and install u-joints than with a hammer, a bolt and a large socket like I have been doing for decades.
I bought a ball joint press from the low dollar store (Harbor Freight) to actually do a ball joint. I have, however, used it much more working on the u-joints for my current project.
I lost the audio on this video when I down-sized it but you haven't missed anything. The drive shaft if from an 89 Cherokee and it was a relatively new U-joint. I pulled it because the drive shaft has to be replaced after some alterations.
Installation is almost as easy.
