Some of the F150's came with pressed in u-joints and thet were not replacable. You have to replace the drive shaft. I know it's really gay. That shaft was replaced by FORD with a new part number that has replacable joints.

they are a pain to remove. If i were you id pull the driveshaft bring it to a shop and have them press the new joints in. SHould only cost you a few dollars. not worth the headache trying to get these out and the new ones in w/o f'n something up

Hey helrazr, you wouldnt happen to know what that part number would be do you. I was also looking on line and the have u joints for the drive shaft but they use a stack of washers b4 you put the clip on! I'm not down with doing the hole washer thing. I really need to replace it soon.
Thanks
