If you are sure it is the rear ujoint, it's gonna be some fun. The factory uses liquid nylon injected ujoints from the factory. The only way to get them out is to get the yoke of the driveshaft hot enough that the nylon comes out of the holes in the yoke on the driveshaft. You don't need oxygen, but it would help make the process alittle faster. If you look at the yoke on the driveshaft you will see a little like plastic tab or dot, this is where the nylon will come out of and where it is injected from the factory. Replacement ujoints use C-clips on the inside of the yoke so no need to worry there. As for once you get the nylon out of both sides you can use a socket if you don't have a press and just knock the ujoint out of the driveshaft yoke. A press would be the better way to go, but a socket and a BFH have worked for me in the past. You just have to get a larger socket so the ujoint cup will fall into the socket or pipe on the bottom to support the other side of the yoke. I hope this makes some sense. Best of luck
