Pull the drive shaft, pry out the old one, and tap in a new one. Replace drive shaft.

Chock the front tires so it won't roll. Raise the rear end until the tires are about 8-10"s off the ground then support the rear axle with jack stands. Then the trans shouldn't leak much when you remove the drive shaft. Have a pan handy just in case a little comes out. That's how I'd do it. Someone else might chime in with another opinion.

Take it loose from the rear axle yoke. Use a regular wrench, I think it's 12 or 13 MM, and put a big screwdriver through the joint to keep it from rotating as you loosen the bolts/nuts. Loosen them all just a little before removing any of them. Reverse to re-install.
