Why would you want to? The CV-style joints/shafts are week and known for issues...

Snap ring pliers are handy... it took me a while to work out the worn front axle u-joints, they get rusted in there. It's a good idea to have alternate transportation, a supply of PB plaster/coca cola/aggressive penetrating lube (not wd40, too mild), a big hammer, and a propane torch.

I recommend either OEM (Dana Spicer) U-joints or Napa u-joints. Get the greaseable ones. "Heavy Duty" ones are not serviceable so if they get water in the bearings the end is near for them. Greaseable ones you can pump fresh gease in and push the old crud/dirt/water out.

I lost my ABS tone rings, but that's a non issue in my book.
