did you remove the C clip from the inside of the yoke ? if so then use a BFH and a pice of round stock to drive out the U joint or you can take it to a shop that has a press and have them push it out. I will be coming to town tomorrow and I can try to help then if you still need the help

Yoder could jump in here but I think the newer Toy U joints have the c-clip under the cap instead of on top like mine does. It's supposedly easier to remove. Then follow B's advise and get bfh and a piece of steel smaller than the yoke (I use a socket) and punch it out being careful not to ding or otherwise deform the inside of the yoke.

The u-joint end caps were just to big to come out all the way and the u-joint was press as far as it would go the other way. It only took a few min's to take care. The angle grinder made short work of the joint itself and we were able to get it out of the yoke & shaft. The new one went in easy other then he was shorted one retainer clip. None of the ears on either the yoke or shaft were damaged. Would have been a real pain on the trail.
