RE: driveshaft removal

unbolt the u bolts at the rear gear , the shaft will drop down from there, Than pull it out of the back of the trans.

Make sure you jack up the car from the rear to avoid tranny fluid spilling out once the slip yoke is removed.

drain the gear oil from the tranny or it will fall on you when your under there and it smells really bad trust me its different than any bad smell you have delt with before.

i taped a plastic bag over the end of mine to remove it.

have you ever tasted it? [:'(] taught me not to pull a transfer case out of a truck while being directly under it.

good luck
