well i rented the tool, a GODSEND. got all but one out. got to the last u joint and 2 of the clips broke off in the yoke . Of course the 2 that broke off are on opposite ends of the joint so i cant just push it out one way or the other and pull the clip out after pushing it. i was thinking about getting a pick set and trying to pry it out, any one have any advice before i try that. waiting out the weather before i go for the last one. massive pop up storm, nickel and larger hail ect... thanks for all the help so far.

Before buying a pick set. Maybe you can get a small screwdriver in there?

I've changed a sitt load of u-joints in my day, but this must be the joints from hell. Dang! I may have turned the air into blue-cheese a time or two changing them it was never anything like this.
Glad to hear that all worked in the end.
