Default Replacing front u-joints on 03 Disco II

I am headed out right now to do the serpentine belt, plugs and wires. As soon as I finish, I want to do the front u-joints with the new style I was told here to purchase. Anyone got a link to a quick write up as to what I am supposed to do. Replacing u-joints with like items is simple, but the new u-joints and centering kit, I am not 100% sure what I am to do. Thanks.

Easiest way is to take it to driveline shop and have them rebuild it........

Not looking for that and not the easiest IMHO. Go to the shop, drop of the car, get someone to give you a ride. Then do it all over again to pick it up and then pay a couple hundred dollars. Or, park it in the driveway, buy the partsfor I think $80 or so and do it in an afternoon.I am going to do it myself this afternoon. I am sure I can figure it out, but if there is already a write up, no reason to re-invent the wheel.

Thanks guys. I can not see why you would pay someone to do this. To easy, but I guess you have to like this kind of work for it to be worth it.
