Drive Shaft Removal
Drive Shaft Removal Well it does not seem that I will be able to get the driveshaft loop in without removing the driveshaft. 
I haven't done thais in a long time so I need some instructions. 
It looks like there are 4 bolts in the rear. Do I remove these to get the shaft out?

Yes. take those off & it should pop right off the rear end (you may need to persuade it with a big screwdriver). You usually need to do 2 bolts, then rotate the DS to get the other 2 because of the torque arm blocking access.
To make sure it fits I lower the end of the DS & slide the loop on & set the DS back in the rear end & then position the loop. If it fits, then I bolt the DS back up.
