Remove the driveshaft and clean away all dirt from the ends of the bearings on the yokes to allow for the removal of the snap-rings using needle-nose pliers or a screwdriver. Support the driveshaft in a bench vise, then place a piece of pipe or a large socket with the same inside diameter over one end of the bearing caps, positioning a socket of slightly smaller diameter on the opposite bearing cap. Use the vise or press to force the cap out, stopping just before it comes completely out of the yoke, and then use the vise or large pliers to work the cap the rest of the way out. Transfer the sockets to the other side and press the opposite bearing cap out in the same manner. Pack the new U-joint bearings with grease, following any specific lubrication instructions included with the servicing kit. Position the spider into the bearing cap, partially install the other cap, align the spider, and press the bearing caps into position, taking care not to damage the dust seals. Install the snap-rings, and if they are difficult to seat, strike the driveshaft yoke sharply with a hammer to relieve tension and allow the snap-rings to seat in their grooves. Install the grease fitting and fill the joint with grease, being cautious not to overfill, as this could blow out the grease seals. Finally, install the driveshaft and tighten the companion flange bolts to the specified torque.
