Re: driveshaft removal

Unbolt the straps holding the rear U-joint to the pinion yoke, push the shaft forward into the transmission, lower the rear end of the shaft, pull the shaft out.

Re: driveshaft removal

Also have a pan or rags by the tranny end because you may loose some fluid. Unless you don't care if it is on the floor.

Re: driveshaft removal

Tire iron inbetween the rear yoke and the driveshaft. Pull, get ready to catch the drive shaft.
