'77 Vette---removing drive shaft???
I'm helping a friend work on his Vette. What is the best way to remove the drive shaft on the C3 Vettes with a auto tranny? It looks to be REAL tight fit.
Thanks,

its really not.....when you get down there it will be easier then you think.....make sure you mark the yoke and the driveshaft they are balanced together and need to go back in the same relationship to each other..

Oh Bob or anyone. I forgot to do mark the relationship between the driveshaft and rear diff.
I do know the front from the back of the driveshaft. Can this be resolved with a little trial and error?
