Here's the prob. With my center bearing... When I drive the car it would vibrate and shake..... So I put the car on the lift and checked the driveshaft when I shoot it and turned it, it would freely move around in the housing, so when I inspected the bearing it was cracked. Now I'm wondering how easy it is to remove the propeller shaft cause it's a b**** if you don't have an impact gun or a strong a** friend to hold the shaft.... Input please......

Use some Dextron Automatic Transmission Fluid with Acetone in a 1:1 mix to loosen up the bolts.

To remove the driveshaft? no impact is needed, but how do you have access to a lift and not an impact gun?
Two 14 mm wrenchs is what I used.
