i built my low budget square driveshaft, and clearance my cv joint, I followed this writeup http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/cvmod/

Man Ovrarok I just read that.  That would work for me....just mod the one I've got.  I'm a little skeptical in my ability to get the joints out without loosing all the roller bearings.  Were you successful in reusing the old joints or did you put in new?  I've done several ujoints but never tried to salvage an old one, seems tough.

I don't have a vise either....working in the basement parking garage of an apartment building is always fun.  I've done rear shafts without a vise, but this front short guy will definitely be flopping around being shorter and lighter than the long rear shaft.   ......I need to find a buddy with a shop that I can invade from time to time around here.
