I got it out...yeah! I pulled the entire driveline in one piece. I undid all 6 of the bolts from each flexdisc which provided enough movement to pry each one loose. Then I just slowly pulled the drive line our from the rear of the car.

Now to get it serviced. I have the center bearing, and the boot, I think I'll just pay at shop to do it. But, when I spoke with the shop, asking about the u joint, I was told there's no way that can be replaced???

I'm not sure it needs it, but it has +250,000 miles on it so normally, would make sense with the drive line if out.
