now are u talking about the one that goes to your wheels on the front end(4x4 front axle) if so i just did mine on my 98.....and wasnt the funest of things to do but can be done....had 2 do both sides...now the way i did it was to take off tire, then remove breaks from the hub, then remove both the upper and lower ball joint nuts, then pound the whole hub down so it just kinda hanging there and then took the u joints off and replaced them and put everything back together.
