I did mine a few times, you just need to drill out the rivets (cutting
fluid is your friend) and bolt the new ones in. I would budget an hour per
joint to drill them. If you have to replace bolted in ones its maybe 10
mins per joint.
I used a set of sealed Dana joints that failed in short order. The car
quest branded greasable moog joints I used lasted 20k before I sold it,
they were still tight.
You may want to get a couple extra bolts / nuts just in case, I broke one
once and had to walk to the hardware store.
