How easy is it? I've looked underneath and it appears I need to remove the exhaust(test pipe) and heat shielding. Is that correct?
I was hoping to just unbolt from the diff and pull out the back.

 

4 12 mm bolts on the rear flange.

slide it down and pull the yoke out carefully.

and your done. easy huh!

 

As stated above, once you pull the 4 12mm bolts off of the rear flange, you should be able to drop it then pull straight back - regardless of heat shielding/exhaust.

 

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU HAVE NEVER DONE THIS GARY!! nOOb! This is outrageous!...= )

 

These guys are lying. It's not easy. It's really easy.

 

Gary's was too busy doing his full suspension.

I just swapped one last night. Took me 15 min in dirt on my back with abour 18" to work with. There's a hole about the size of your first that you can use to possition the yoke into the tranny. It helps to have a friend for this part, other than that it's simple.

 

It makes it hard when you driveshaft is stuck to the flange like a motherfu<ker. I had to use a small metal bar and a 10lb slede hammer to break the shaft off of the flange. It still didn't take very long, but with old cars, simple jobs can be made a lot more complicated.

 

i will attest to that

 

My driveshaft was seized on to the diff way back and all I did was put it in gear. It actually moved my car, so then I tried to peel out and thats when the driveshaft unseized and dropped on the floor.

Easy! but I removed all my heatsheilds during the process which makes removal and install a million times easier!

 

Damn! Is that proceedure written up in the manual?

 

LOL!!! that was good!!

 

I did mine a few weeks ago...... It was so simple! Now I just have to fine the souce of my other vibration!
