This can be tricky so if you have never done it before asked some that has to walk you through it. Make sure to always respect the size of truck and be careful.

Start by chocking your wheels. Then remove the bolts holding the joint to the differential. Next slide the driveshaft into the trans enough to remove the driveshaft. Now take the drive shaft and have the the joint pressed out or tap it out yourself. Then reverse the process.
