Its on an SC300 with a340e and 1JZ. The front u-joint isnt the kind u can goto the DAP and buy to replace. Its one of those "permanant" ones. I honestly don't feel like spending $600 on a new driveshaft right now, but Ive been quoted $650 to fix my stocker!!!!!!
i supose you could maybe melt the plastic lock cap out, and then drive the joint cap out,
im pretty sure there's machined grove in their for a clip, but needs the plastic chiped out first..
im not saying it's possble but ive done this before on other d/s or this type..
ive yet to try on my supra...

Yeah see the problem is, there is no clip on this one. The actuall steel is knocked down onto the cap to hold it down. It looks like a groove would have to be machined into the driveshaft.. pain in the ass shit. A new front shaft is $600 plus $50 labor to press on. I can go 1 piece for $550 (3 to 4 bolt adapter, and any mkIII driveshaft at the right lenght)
hmm, have any pic's?
i just pulled my a340e to put a 5spd in.. maybe i can check my u-joints and maybe help you out?

I wish i took some, but i have the DS back in... its pretty bad, alot of viabration and clunks when into gear. I might have to cancel my weekend trip to cali for a damn driveshaft
