Use a hand held propane or map gas torch, a bernzomatic works best, and heat the ends where you see the nylon that has been injected from the OEM.
The nylon will start to ooze out and will stop, both side will need to do this, and use a dead blow hamer that is made of rubber to smack the driveshaft end yokes while the other side of the u-joint is clamped in either a bench vise or press.
