mark the yoke on the pinion with the bearing on the driveshaft so you can put the same bearing back in the yoke in the same place.

undo the 4 nutz pop the u bolts out press the DS into the trans until the u joint is free of the pinion yoke. Tape the bearings to the DS U-joint so they dont fall off. Pull it out and stuff rags in the hole to slow the bleeding...you'll want a bucket underneath too.

When I used to be doing this stuff real often, I kept a few stray slip-yokes around to seal off that stinky red stuff! imp
