There should be either 4 or 6 12 point bolts on the pinion shaft coming out of the rear end. it is facing towards the tranfser case. the bolts are very very tight, usually have locktiight on them from the factory. a trick people use when they do not have access to air tools is get the wrench good and centered on the bolt. then take a floor jack and jack up the end of the wrench (counterclockwise) in order to break the bolts loose. then spin the rear end or roll the truck to remove the next, and so on... if you are jacking the truck up to get underneath. use a quality jack and jack stands. these are heavy trucks. hope this helps

goodluck.

ps. if you have trouble with the slipyoke boot, cut one of the clamps and then replace with another after you fixed the u-joints.
