It has one, but it's really small. You can get to it by loosening the pinch bolt from it, and sliding the boot up and over. Honestly, if it's only clicking at hard right I wouldn't suspect the u-joint. How are your boots? the knuckle can fail if they are allowing dirt in.

IMO, this would be a much more likely source of clicking.

BTW, you mentioned that your rear brakes were coming off. Are you upgrading and willing to part with an old caliper?
