I have a hard enough time with spell check but it won't touch this word! I think I will just call it a flex joint from now on!

I want to do this job without removing the exhaust system and the trans cross member. After spending a while on my back studying and trying various tools I think I can do it by just lowering the center driveshaft support and placing it on a jack stand.

I may need to let the rear wheels hang but at a minimum I need to be able rotate the shaft to loosen all the bolts.

The big problem is access to the front facing nuts and bolts with the trans cross member attached, I think I can use a large breaker bar and socket and rotate the shaft to get to each nut or bolt. On the rear facing nuts and bolts almost anything will work.

We will see!!!
