Sorry no pics... Your rear driveshaft is secured by 4,5/16th" bolts and 2 straps that hold the ujoint onto the rear yolk.Remove the bolts and straps then use a deadblow or mallet top pop the ujoints free from the rearend.Becarfull not to let the caps fall off of the ujoints unless you plan to replace them.Hope this helps.

Takes about 10 minutes if you don't have to hunt for tools.

if youre taking out the rear, put some grease on the slip yoke before reinstalling.
