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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>Steve Byers</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>HBJ8L/36666</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>BJ8 Registry</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>AHCA Delegate at Large</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>Havelock, NC </span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'><img width=94 height=47 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D3A0E2.042FC950" alt="TARHEELY license plate"></span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>simon.lachlan@homecall.co.uk<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 08, 2018 8:15 AM<br><b>To:</b> healeys@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Access to drive shaft IJs.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Another question…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The manual tells one to remove the transmission tunnel in order to access the UJs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Can one do the job from underneath?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I’ve never done UJs before so I’ll probably be appealing for help…..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I have, I think, managed to source some decent ones.
