I have no pics of that process right now and nothing that needs one but this is actually a pretty good write up on how to do it with the exception of pulling the shaft itself but I would hope you can figure that out.  This one one is also a pretty good general how to on it.

Personally I just cut the cross out with a torch and knock the caps in if I am doing it in the shop.  I also prefer to install one cap past the where it needs to be, install the retainer and then drive the entire assembly to the retainer with the other cap; I do this because I usually remove/install with an air hammer and there is less chance of the bearings falling out of place with this method. 

Next time I do some I will take pictures and write it up.

FYI, if you ever do a Chevy the factory joints have a plastic retainer you have to burn out, super FUN!

Installing an ARB in a front Dana 44.  Or even just setting up a new set of gears for a Dana 44 front.

Hey DUG, I'm gonna need to put new rear drums on coming up. I have the shoes already, i'll need to buy the drums.

A write-up that i will be working on soon will be for my JCR rear bumper and lower 1/4 panel guards. I still need to order the bumper, but if anyone wants to help that would be awesome!

If you want to do the brakes at the shop I'll help and write it up as well as teach you all sorts of good tricks fro drum brakes.

Drum brakes are the most misunderstood and worst maintained part of most vehicles and are often wrongly blamed for problems that are the fault of poor maintenance.

Oh dang I wanna see this but I most likely won't be home.

I think that the Wrangler shifting system on the automatic fix is an important one. I'll find the one I used on JeepForum. So helpful when I couldn't get out of park :). Found out after a tow. Have you heard of this?

Are you talking about the shiftlock? I wasn't aware that jeep had one, but it's a common failure in Fords. Usually related to the brake light switch or the wiring.

Nope, but I found the link. Really common in 2003's.
