Universal Joint problems

I just aquired a 1990 Bronco 2. I put my set of 31" mudders under there and thought I was good to go to the races. I put it in 4 wheel drive and I hear this loud clunk coming from upfront. Jacked it up and crawled under. The 4 wheel drive shatf that connects with the shaft that goes through the hub broke where the universal joint connects them. It was broke previously because where it was broken was not a fresh break. One eye let on each shaft broke so I have to replace them both. I do have a 1988 bronco 2 for parts. So now my question, is there some way I can pull the entire shaft assembly off my passenger side without taking everything apart or do I have to take apart my hub, braking system and take them out one shaft at a time?
Thanks,
Rick

Ready to go to the races? You could swap the whole entire ttb arm, and just hook the brakes up and bleed them, but it would be easier to just swap hubs imo. just throw new joints in there and call it good when you put the other shafts in.
