I know it is a PITA, but I only pulled the whole shaft out. But I guess you can slide it out of the spline. To get the drive shaft out you need to remove the mount and since your are replacing the mount you can get at the flex disk just use a "flex" socket and you should be able to get at it.

Rich, hopefully its still fresh in your mind... how much pushing forward of the driveshaft did you have to do to get it free from the pinion shaft (the stubby shaft coming out of the differential). This thing looks like its sticking out about an 1 1/2 inches..

So, as you can see, I have not lowered the shaft yet so have not gotten to the snap ring. The tranny mount is off but am not putting it back on till the shaft is back on.

Thanks for the help...
