How do you get the driveshaft bolts out? I know its a 12mm 12 pt socket i need to use but i cant get the bolts to move at all.

use a breaker bar and balls out keep trying you will get them out.

Liquid wrench or some kind of rust freer then use a powerful impact wrench. If this doesn't work then use a breaker bar with a pipe on the end for more leverage.

Same here...I use a 12 mm 12 point socket and a 3/8 breaker bar (for clearance) and a section of pipe if needed.

Breaker bar...although if the tranny bolts are standard 6 point, use a 6 point socket, nothing worse than stripping the head.

use penetrating oil and wait, then muscle it off.
