    Driveshaft removal issues

    Hey so im in the process of removing the deiveshaft. However i came to realization that the passenger side parking brake shoe is off. The drive shaft keeps on spinning when i try and loosen the bolts. I managed to get 3 bolts out with enough liquid wrench but the rest are on there tight and the driveshaft won't stay still. Any suggestions on how to keep the driveshaft from turning? Other than replacing the shoe?

          I tried wedging a piece of wood to hold down the brake but it may have not been enough force. Ill give that a try with my pops

            If anyone has an answer to this; greatly appreciated...

            Background : Removed driveshaft, U joints are toast, Buying a new driveshaft.

            Q - When re-installing the new driveshaft, I know you mark the old one's position when removing from the trans. How do you know which flange is supposed to line up with the old one when installing a NEW driveshaft? Is there a specific flange to flange or am I shit out of luck and have to guess?


            Thanks for the input in advance.

              It doesn't matter how the ends of the drive shaft are mated to their respective flange. It does matter that the drive shaft halves are aligned per the paint mark.
              The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                That's what I was hoping to hear! Thank you!
