Default trouble replacing a broken yoke on a nitro rustler

so i broke my rear shock tower and the right side yoke (little white thing that connects the transmission to the drive shaft) and its jointed by a U joint but i cant figure out how to get the little tabs on the metal ball to go into the holes of the yoke without poetentially breaking it...help

The white material is pretty tough. There is a tool that Traxxas includes with their kits made for working on the u-joints. On the left side of the picture.



You use it to push the u-joint metal piece into the yoke. A flat screwdriver can work but it tends to get out of place. You can make the tool if you don't have one. It's just a metal plate with a notch cut out of it. The trick is to make the install in one motion, and only do it once. The white material is tough, but it will quickly wear away if you're trying it over and over.
