I did not know if the u-joints could be pressed out or not. I thought maybe. But after I posted I lookied at the shaft that i installed and realized that the joints are not serviceable. It looks like the U-Joints end have been secured by the ends being pressed into a button head.

Does the end fit steering column? If so then no problem. I pulled mine from a junkyard and test fitted it on another S10 in the junkyard just to make sure that I pulled the correct shaft.

Guys read my post above, there are 2 different style but they both work as long as its out of an xj (regular boxy style cherokee). If out of a zj or wj (grand cherokee) they won't work.

There's 2 different columns for the same Cherokees. The one that has the word NACAM on it is the right one for our mod. The other one has a shorter end where it bolts/grabs (Which I think is the one you have Skitzoape). The NACAM one has 1.5" long tip.
