Re: changing u joint-47 ford sedan
Front floormat & tranny cover out> Speedo cable disconnect> Frame up on four jack stands> Rear wheels off> Rear brakes, including parking cable off at torque tube> Rear shocks free> Clamshell off> Banjo up on floor jack> Spring mount disconnect> Roll driveline assembly out with floor jack 6" only> Remove U joint. Reverse the procedure and bleed the brakes.
First and foremost, What symptoms are you having that tell you you need to change your U joint?

If you haven't done so already you may want to shoot some grease in the u-joint and see if that helps.

Re: changing u joint-47 ford sedan
Just in case you decide to replace the U-joint. Here are the detailed instructions for removing the rear axle which is what is necessary to replace the U-joint:
