Installing a driveshaft

It's not a whole lot of fun especially if your exhaust is original (and rusted up).
But it is doable with hand tools. You just gotta get the ehxaust out of the way.
You will need a good jack and at least a couple big jack stands to get the rear end in the air.
Good time to change your transmission oil too, if you havnt in a while. Because it will pour out the back when you pull the DS.
All though ive only ever done it on a lift (flat) so if you have just the rear end up on jackstands you might get by with not much oil spillage.
