Driveshaft ?
 
Any advice on changing the universal joints on a 2 piece driveshasft. I have heard that i will need to use a bench vise, however I don't have one. Any thoughts? :mad:

If you can, remove the shaft and take it and the new joints to a shop with a small press.

Ball joint/U-joint press makes it easier

The job isn't that hard...with a good vise. Get a vise if you can. You'll also need a socket or piece of pipe that will allow you to push the u-joint bearings from one side.

I have used a hammer and a couple of sockets in an emergency.
