Turn to page 180-181 of your Haynes manual (or download the FSM from XenonS130 - S130 Reference).

It says some of the parts are not sold individually. I do suggest taking it to a specialty shop though. U-joints aren't the "friendliest" parts to work on. Or just source another in a junk yard.

u joints are easy if you have a larger vise thats well bolted down. the hardest part is the clips if they happen to be seized. just remove clips and hammer the joint over the vise, it will push one cap out the one side, flip 180 deg, hammer til the other one pops out. the joint will remove from each other at that point. do again on the other part. then to install use the vise and socket as a press to install the caps back in. make sure the needle bearings are in place before you push it together and dont use a hammer as it will dislodge the needle bearings. i should really do a write-up with pix. lol
