Drive Shaft Removal
  1. Safety First. Block the tires and set the e-brake so it can't roll in any way. (most important if you are not on level ground.)
  2. Locate the correct tools for the job. (i.e large flat tip screwdriver, wrench's, oil drain pan (to catch trans fluid if an automatic), and your favorite sheet of cardboard)

Be ready to catch the drive shaft as the following steps will free it and it could escape ;-).

You have what is known as a hanger bearing in the center. Now there are four bolts that hold the rear shaft to the rear axle. Simply remove the bolts and nuts. Once the rear bolts are removed you should be able carefully pry the rear section forward a bit so it can drop down, now to side the rearwards and it should separate. Now remove the hanger bearing and the front shaft should slide rearward as well. Make sure the oil pan is in position and ready to the small amount of fluid you will lose when you pull the collar out the back end of your trans.

If you have a manual transmission it will necessary to remove the bolts and nuts on the other end of the drive shaft up next the trans.

Make sure truck is level or pointing downhill is even better. Remove the 4 bolts at the differential. Pry the driveshaft forward. Slide the front out of the transmission. Hold the front most piece with your hand as it comes out of the transmission. At re-assembly torque the bolts to 15 ft/lbs.
