All good info posted above.
First I have the 2 sections paint marked with some cheap white Finger Nail Polish paint before removing anything.
Remove the 3 bolts that hold the Drive Line to the Flex Disc.
Loosen the large Nut in the center of the 2 sections. I also use a large pair of Water Pump/Channel Lock pliers to loosen the nut. remember, Righty Tighty. Lefty Loosey.
This is a 46mm Nut.
Pelican has the 46mm wrench. they show two.

Loosen the 2 (I think 14mm) bolts that hold the center Carrier Bearing to the body.
Now with a big Pry Bar between the front DL Flange and the Disc, pry around different spots to break the bond of the rubber to the steel. once loose, pry back to clear the centering pin.
Then do the rear the same way.
Once both ends are clear, snug the large 46mm Nut a little to keep the 2 sections from coming apart.
Remove the 2 14mm bolts at the center Support bearing.
You can slide the whole DL out towards the rear and down and out.
