I have a 1994 F250 4x4 and just replaced my front axleshaft U-joints with Spicer 5-1350X's. I got mine from Amazon w/ 2 day delivery ...non-greaseable with external snap rings and they look much stronger than the AutoZone ones I took back. Directions say do not add grease during installation. Came with 3 thicknesses of snaprings. The thinnest(coppper) JUST fit. The one thing I found that helped was to square up the bottom of the snap ring groove with a Dremel tool using the little cut off wheel. That corrosion that rounds in the bottom will keep the ring from being able to seat. I used a HF ball joint press to press them in and out. If yours don't have 22 years of Great Lakes winters on them maybe they'll be easier.

Hell yeah, my hf press has pressed many times more suspension bolts and U joints than it has ball joints. Sometimes the U joint caps explode which always makes it exciting.
