Half shaft u joints

Tech Tips are not working. I am going to change the u joints on my 94 coupe. Could someone point me to a good thread on doing this WITH PICTURES. When it comes to this stuff - I need all the help I can get.

Thanks!

Maybe do the driveshaft ones while you are at it?

Is it important to mark the position of the inner U joint to flange, so as to put the half shaft back in the same way?

Same question with the driveshaft?

Propeller shaft, yes. Half shafts, no.

Is that because the drive (propeller) shaft was balanced at the factory with the transmission yoke, but the half-shafts were not? Kinda wondered about that.
