You dont. The u-joints that came with the oem driveshaft aren't replacable and you must buy a new driveshaft is the u-joints go bad. Same thing happened to me. I'm in the process of buying a mazdatrix driveshaft with replacable u-joints for about $248. That's if I can't find a decent one on ebay or somewhere else.

This thread should be helpful, if you're interested in replacing just the u-joints, and not the whole shaft...
