Front u-joints?
Are there little caps on top of the snap-ring or something? It looks like there is not a snap ring to pull the bearing cap off?

The snap rings are on the inner lip of the cap not the outside.

the u-joint sits inside the yoke, the snap ring is between u-joint and yoke. You should be able to see. I had a 89 YJ 2.5L first think i would get is exhaust header. Mine was a borla. Deffinately made improvement.

Ok, I guess there is a dust cap or something covering the snap-ring. I am plan on replacing the u-joints and just took a glance at them last night, this is why I am asking I am sure the caps will pry off with a flap jead screw driver.

Are you talking about drive shaft Ujoints, or axle Ujoints?

O ok thanks man that helps. I was assuming the axle U-joints were like the drive shaft u-joins but I guess I was wrong.
