driveline removal
can I drop the drive shaft on my 91 auto vert without removing the beam that goes between the trany and the diff.? If not do i need to support the trany or the diff.?
ok, it looks like the c-beam needs to come out. how do I get to the nuts on the top? or do i need to drop the rear end? or drop the rear end and then the shaft comes out?
I have the exhaust out, and the drive shaft will not slip out as it binds against the side of the car. I could cut out the flange where its binding, but dont want to do that.
did a search and on the lt1 cars, every one says it will come out. need to get this done as a road trip is planned for tomarrow to reno.
thanks

those c-beams are a HUGE PITA...to reinstall, slide it in place on the diff first, then use a screwdriver and pry the tranny towards the dirver's side and slip the c-beam past it. its not fun, but once it goes, its like butta...

If you can't pry the driveshaft back in loosen all 4 bolts then remove the 2 "C beam" bolts on the tranny side( you will have to support the tranny) and remove 1 bolt on the differential(the one closest to the tranny) now just swing the beam over to the passenger side for a little extra room to wiggle it back in.
