the c-clips that hold the joints in are on the inboard side of the joints, pop them out with a hammer and screwdriver.
rest is walking the joints out with a press and some drifts, aka sockets. just use any u-joint writeup on the webs for the modified shaft.

/\ perfect response right there karak. thanks.
to add to that for those referencing this thread.. make sure your work area is clean . the little tiny cylinders in the cap can end up all over the place if your not careful...
the u joint mazdatrix uses is fairly common... so if it does get contaminated etc most parts stores carry them.
