or are there any special tricks for doing these joints?

I think that was just the driveshaft ujoints
have you ever had the hubs and rotors off your truck?
justtrying to see what you have done to decide where to start adding help from

but before i can go farther i need to get those u-joints replaced

did some this weekend
ended up cutting the old joints out to try and minimize the damage to the ears
