the joints usually have snap rings that hold things together.
Even if you have not done it before you should be able to do it in 2 hours or less if you have every thing you need before you start.
The Job itself is not too difficult if you have some basic tools and a little mechanical aptitude. I suggest getting a manual of some kind, or at least looking at some photo's. Pay attention to how the shaft comes apart. Also have some rags handy as this is a messy job. Keeping things as clean as possible is a big plus. be careful not to damage any threads on the axel or ball joints. They are soft iron and easy to mess up.
