I have removed several driveshafts working thru the small hole on tunnel that
is there for greasing the front universal. It?s a little cramped but it can be
done.

Just below the front U-joint the frame structure makes a sharp V. Although it
might be possible to remove the U-joint bolts from below (one at a time, if you
can turn the driveshaft), the V restricts access. It would be much less
tedious to do it from above after removing the tunnel. The front U-joint bolts
are locked with bent-over locking plates. You have to straighten the bent tabs
to unscrew the bolts and nuts. The rear U-joints are more easily accessed.
The driveshaft can be pulled out towards the rear. It's in two pieces with a
sliding spline joint between them. There are arrows on each piece for
alignment. Make sure you keep this alignment for balance reasons when you put
it back together.

Hi,
Another question?
The manual tells one to remove the transmission tunnel in order to access the
UJs.
Can one do the job from underneath?
I?ve never done UJs before so I?ll probably be appealing for help?..
I have, I think, managed to source some decent ones. The price disparity on
what?s available is remarkable??
