Just pull the rear swingarm and the rear ujoint will just slip off. You don't even have to disconnect the brakelines or anything. You can pull it in less than 30 minutes, just make sure that you have a big enough hex head to loosen the bolts holding the swingarm on. We just did mine last week, but my shaft was bent. It was not too hard to fix we welded the old yoke on a pipe and put a dial indicator against the shaft and bent it back. Are you sure that yours did not bend, when you pull the boot off of the ujoint if there is any oil leakage then the shaft is bent. Mine was only bent about 8 thousandths of an inch but i guess that is too much.
Good luck and if you have a rear lift I would take the sucker off, that is what caused mine to break and I only had it on there a couple of months.
