u-joint access

["Charlie and Linda Duckworth" <iiv000@mail.connect.more.net>]

Am replacing the six u-joints on the TR and see that the exhaust system runs
directly in the path of the drive shaft.  Is there a way to get the drive
shaft out though the
top (by removing the seats and carpeting)?  My exhaust system is welded so
I'd either have to cut the pipes or if I unbolt the back will the system
hang low enough for me to get to the bolts?

Thanks for any suggestions.
