Re: Universal Joint Measurements
Not sure if the T31 is the same as my T30 but in it the universal joints are not held in by clips but rather pinch points stamped into the sides of the housing. These would have to be filed off so the joint can be replaced. I'm not sure if Nissan consider them a separate replaceable part but you can call a dealer spare parts to make sure.
The correct universal joint will be one which measures the same across the flats of the endcaps, has the same endcap diameter and is the same thickness through the body. You can google search how to measure them correctly.

Re: Universal Joint Measurements
I removed my tailshaft when I had to get the transfer pinion bearing replaced. Easy to do. Just had 4 bolts at each end to unbolt the couplings. The pinions in both the transfer case and the rear differential should stay inplace while you drive. I know the front will but just check the rear won't pull out by hand before you move after you've removed the tailshaft.
When you drop the tailshaft just be careful of the centre bearing that you will also have to unbolt from the underside of the chassis and remove the whole tailshaft as a single unit.

Re: Universal Joint Measurements
Here is a link to a T31 member in Estonia who replaced his tailshaft uni joints recently. The post in particular you require is #74 where he details the part number for a GKN replacement.
