While I am not familiar with the front shaft joints of an S series as I have not had to change any(yet) My 91 Suburban had those type of joints for both shafts. I would just obtain the correct replacement joints(with grease fittings) and swap them out. Heat from at least a propane torch makes this job much easier! A vise and a press is also handy,search this site,you will find what you need.
