Hi all, Need to drop the driveline. If I remove the six bolts in each of the front and back flanges, will it come out readily? There is a yoke near the transmission but the hole seems large enough to accommodate the flanged end. I'm hoping the universal joints will flex enough so I can work it down and pull out from the back and don't have to do any more disassembly. Any advice? Thanks.

The front uni joint is splined to the tail shaft so it slides way from the transmission, If you want to remove the tail shaft from the car you will need to remove the centre section bolted to they chassis.

Thanks David. Received your email and now believe I won't have to drop the driveline after all. Still, good to know what is involved.
