Not looking forward to replacing drive shaft u-joints in my driveway. Instead of removing the whole assembly which requires taking the bolts out of the flanges is it possible to disassemble just the u-joint?

Nope... you have to remove the driveshaft.

If you only need to replace the rearmost U-joint (it's generally the first to fail), you can remove only the rear section of driveshaft.. Just make sure you mark the splines and get them back exactly the way they were.

And for the hardware... be sure to use wrenches that are exactly the right size. Those bolts are tight and easy to round off...
