I presume its similar to a TJ..Write up here.. prop rebuild (http://http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/driveshaft/driveshaft-5.htm)

Saturday morning job..
Parts were about £120 inc centre ball/yoke assembly and spicer UJ's all from lighthouse.
I think the price of UJ's has gone up a bit now altho you can get cheaper alternatives on the bay...  :roll:
