Default Front Driveshaft Universal replacement

I searched for this and only found the question posted in the wrong area and never answered.
This universal can be pressed out. I had to replace this one because I lost some of the bearings when trying to gain access to the encoder motor. My poor eyesight did not allow me to see the retaining clips prior to adding the 20 tons of pressure. Subsequently the back of the cup gave way. All is good now so I just need to order the new universal.

Did you notice if there was any injected plastic holding the cups in as well?

Default No plastic here

Just looked. There was no port to have the plastic injected.

ive shot those caps out like that even with the clips removed. just depends on how bad they are stuck in there. so make sure you always press them in away from you face. the worst is if you break the new caps

If they didnt have nylon locks (you will see little white stubs sticking out of the driveshaft ears) then they have been replaced once. lucky for you. Just press some new ones in,install with clips,have a beer and watch tv. lol
