Very nice progress

Harbor Freight is a cool store.

also. mark the yoke so you don't turn it 180

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

most GM after the mid 90's or so do not use clips to hold the caps in from the factory. They use nylon. you use the torch to melt the nylon. There are little holes in the shaft for the nylon to squirt out of(place where the nylon was injected)
most people use a hammer to remove the caps afterwards but it can and will bend the yoke.
a press is the proper way

indeed, as was stated in everything i read on how to get the job done. im changing them because its convenient at this point. the car has like 65k on it and the driveshaft is already out, so i might as well. i dont want to do all that work putting it together (because its convenient now) just to rip it apart again because i didnt do it correctly
