It's not hard at all, only takes 10-15 minutes. This shows you the basics, except instead of lock rings you'll have to melt the injected plastic that holds the stock u-joints in.

melt the injected plastic, use a small proprain torch and heat the drive shaft where you see the injected plastic, be sure and DO not point the u joint cap at yourself as the heat may cause the cap to shoot out of the drive shaft when heated, I have seen them knock a hole in a ten wall
good luck, be carefull,Johnny
