I don't know the # but a big hammer and a second set of hands. I used a socket that fit over the shank (the socket would sit on the rim of the u joint the the shank would fit in side) and then I drive the old ones out, don't know if that is much help.

yeah thats what i figured i would have to do just wanted to make sure.....if no one knows the spicer part number do you know if the front and rear joints are the same?? cause i think i might of found a part number 1350(5-178x) but i was told that was for the rear drive line

yeah your right looks like the cap size is the same but the actuall body of the u joint is bigger to reach the larger diameter of the rear drive line maybe .....if i figure it out i will make sure to let everyone know the right spicer numbers so they dont have the same headache.

Are you looking for the u-joints in the front axle or front drive shaft?
The front axle should be 5-733x for non-greaseable and 5-806x for greaseable
The front drive shaft should be 5-799x for the non greaseable and 5-178x for the greaeable
The front axle should be 5-733x for non-greaseable and 5-806x for greaseable
The front drive shaft should be 5-799x for the non greaseable and 5-178x for the greaeable
