front driveshaft U Joint tech?
Have you done u-joints before ?
Have to know where to start .
I would guess that you have a CV [ constant velocity joint ] , this should be at the transfer case , has 2 joints & a center alignment joint .
I've seen people that have changed u-joints before have a lot of trouble with CVs , its a matter of just good had / eye coordination , can you hold 4-5 pieces at the same time & still manipulate .
The main thing with all j-joints , is to keep the joke in the cup , as you get the cup into its position [ I leave all cups off as I get each one in place ] the purpose here is to keep from letting any of the needle bearings from getting out of place & breaking .
I use a press instead of a hammer .

I havent done them before but i will be getting a friend to help who works on cars all day. As i'm in the UK and he generally works on European cars i thought if i could print out a tech article it would help things along
