65 Driveshaft removal
 
How do you remove a driveshaft?? I cant figure out how to get the one on my 65 out. I need to get it out so i can remove my tranny, and then put in a new throwout bearing. I thought it would of had like a bolt and nut thing, but no such luck. The only thing I can see is a clip looking like thing, in the shape of a B, i believe. But it doesnt look like its coming out of anything, so I am quite confused. Help would be awesome, I want to get driving!!!

u bolts at the rear?
 
Should have 2 u-bolts at the rear of the drive shaft at the u joint/yolk (rear end differential) connection. Remove the 4 nuts and u-bolts allowing disconnection at the rear end of the drive shaft. Be sure to keep the bearing caps safe and sound so as not to lose the roller bearings from inside the u joint caps. Then just slide rhe drive shaft front splined tube out of the tranny toward the rear. Then you're in for a lot more work, LOL

Don't get discouraged though. I just put my rebuilt C-4 back in to my car this weekend for the third time . Kind of a pain to do by yourself, but I've done it numerous times. Be sure to have good jack stands, no job is worth dying for.

alrighty, thanks for the help. Hopefully I can at least get the driveshaft out by tonight, and maybe some tranny things disconnected. thanks again.
