U-Joint Dissassembly?????
 
I have a one piece drive shaft in my short bed. Where the yoke comes out of the TH400 there is a u-joint that connects to the drive shaft. My question is I have never seen a u-joint like this one. It does not have clips and I don't have a clue how to take it apart. It appears to have little plastic tips or nipples coming out of each side of the caps, but I don't know if they have to be drilled out or what. I wish I had a picture.

Can anyone help me out with this. It all goes to the powder coater at lunch time.

The ones that I am familiar with have inside clips as well as the plastic and you have to remove the clips and heat the plastic to get them apart. make sure that the trunion is clean because it is really hard to see the inside clips. The clips pop off with a screw driver.
