Before I do something stupid...driveshaft removal question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have everything unbolted (front/back and center support). Sucker is still on there good. Do I just need to pry the ds off the bushings? or pry the bushings off of the tranny/rearend? Front before rear, or vise versa?

Any input is appreciated.

3 bolts up front and 3 bolts in the rear and two for the hanger bearing. Comes out after sliding the rubber isolators off the alignment pins in the middle of the output flange and input flange

Yep. Exactly. The center section pushes together on the splines. Just pry on either end a little bit and it will come out.

I had the driveshaft oriented in such a way that the center of the driveshaft (at the u-joint) would not deflect down. I rotated the DS, the the middle deflected down, which allowed for the DS to come off the tailshaft/diff
