im trying to remove my driveshaft so that i can replace my clutch and was wondering if anyone had any idea how to get the four bolts off that connect the drive shaft to the gear box. we have tried 1/2" and 7/16" torqs. it looks like a 12 point bolt . we sprayed it with WD40 and tried vice grips and it just won't budge. its not like there is alot rust either, so im stumped. kinda sucks right now, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

thanks david

alright i found the correct size to take off the bolts that connect the driveshaft to the rearend. if anyone wants to know it is a 12 point, 12 mm. so we removed the driveshaft, unbolted the shifter to the tranny and took off the crossmember. a mechanic that i talked to told us that after we remove the crossmember that the tranny would sink which would allow us to get to the bolts on top. it only dropped about an inch and we werent sure if it was supposed to drop any further. we werent sure whether or not there was any motor mounts that needed to be unbolts to allow for a further drop. thanks again for any information

well we tried to pull down on the tranny tailshaft and it really didnt move much, but we got most of the bolts except for 1 left to go and it seems impossible to get. there just isnt any room to work. after we get the last bolt we are hoping that it will drop down. we werent sure if the started needs to come off (looks like there is plenty of room to lower the tranny) and if all this would be easier to do if we unbolted the exhaust after the headers (so far they really havent been in the way except for the last tranny bolt that is on the very top). all we know is that it is going to be a b!@#$ to get the tranny back up and lined up.


thanks again
