Any tips on how to remove the driveshaft? I have an eta and I’m trying to maneuver it around the exhaust. I heard things like loosening the nut in the middle helps and loosening transmission mounts but I’m not sure. Please help

Step 1. Remove full exhaust
Step 2. Remove exhaust heat shield
Step 3. Loosen the center locking nut with big channel locks on the driveshaft all the way. its right behind the center support bearing.
Step 4. Remove all the guibo bolts and diff bolts.
Step 5. Remove center support bearing, collapse driveshaft and remove driveshaft.
Note: if the driveshaft doesn't want to collapse, you might find it easy to remove the tranny brace to drop the rear of the tranny. Also use plenty of penetrant around the locking nut to help collapse the driveshaft.
