Default Brakes and U Joint

I've got to replace the brake pads (front and rear) and the right rear u-joint in my 98 sportsman 500.

Any tips, videos, step by step instructions. Never done it before and would appreciate all the help I can get.

Also, suggestions on replacement parts and sources where to get them.


Thanks in advance.

Cheapest route for parts will be ebay. Brakes are pretty straight forward. U-joints aren't bad either. Get a tool (@ $50) from any auto parts store to remove them. Makes it a snap!
