96 Front Axle U-Joints

I know how to get the U-joints out of the yoke, but it won't work with our tool. I was wondering if there was something that i might be missing. The U-Joint has no outside snap clips, but the inside container clips have been removed, and from what i have heard, the rest should go like clockwork.

no real tricks, they are just like any other Ujoint, once the clips are out they should be able to be driven out of the yoke.

Alright im going to have to try again, but i have another question, i got the axles out of the front end but in order to get the passenger side out you have to disconnect a joint between the outer u joint and the one closer to the differential, and you cannot get the stub shaft to slip out of the diff. Is there a way to, or do i have to go ahead and mess with it under my truck.

the short inner axle on the passengers side is held into the diff by a C clip, to get that out you have to drop the differential out of the truck.
