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.
