Which one? There are 4 on that vehicle. The rear two are easy to change. Remove the bolts on the rear retainer straps, Pry the caps loose from the yoke. Now either place a pan under the output of the transfer case or slide a plug into place HF sells a plug that works well and it's cheap. Now R&R the joints using the proper tools. Front ones are similar BUT you need to remove a few parts and work a bit harder.
