Not all driveshafts are the same but as for a rear wheel drive vehicle you can remove the bolts on the flange of the rear differential which will release the back side of the shaft and then just pull it straight out of the transmission.
no
Front wheel drive? Not applicable
you dont, if you want to disconnect it then remove your front drive shaft.
no unless it is a 4 wheel drive and you are in 4 hi or lo. I still wouldn't do it
Undo all the bolts, disconnect the drive shaft, and let it drop.
On vehicles with a true 2wd position in the transfer case, yes.
yes you could do that or to be really safe you can disconnect the drive shaft
The easy way is to disconnect the front or rear prop shaft.
Disconnect the driveshaft at the rear end and pull it out of the trans.
1: disconnect the drive shaft from the rear axle. 2: disconnect the front shaft from the transmission (tedious and you need the correct size tool). 3: disassemble the front shaft from the main shaft by pulling them apart from the center or in front of the support and drop the main shaft. 5: remove bolts holding the support and drop and remove the front shaft shaft with the support still connected. 6: remove and replace the support with a wheel puller. 7: replace support with new part. 8: reassemble in reverse.
