Default Mk 5 Cortina Universal Joint replacement

Hi All

Forgive me if this has already been redressed multiple times already but i've tried my best to search a solution to this issue.

My MK5 has failed it's WOF inspection due to tired U Joints on the drive shaft. These are the factory fitted "staked/penged" U Joints. I've been told this is a specialist job that can only be carried by 2 businesses in New Zealand. One in the south Island and one in the north for a price that I can't afford.

Question is, I have some universals from Repco that appear to be held in place with a cir-clip on what appears to be on the inside of the Yoke, Not fixed as factory by a cap on the outside. Does anyone have any experience in changing out the factory fitted U Joints that can point me in the right direction for some info?

Thanks in advance
