No magic, just like any other ujoint. Just make sure you have a 12pt 13mm socket for the hub bolts

36mm socket to get the shaft separated from the unit hub.
I've got lucky on my 3 XJ's, heard the hub can sometimes be tough to get out of the knuckle. I'll thread those 3 12pt bolts partially in, put the socket back on and hit it with a 5lb mini sledge to get the hub moving out. Plenty of anti-sieze during installation will help next time be easier.
