How do I take out the drive shafts on my truck. I have removed the 4 bolts at the rear pumpkin. Drive shaft will not come down. I have taken out the 2 bolts at the center of the shaft and I have tried to pull the shaft out of the rear of the transmission but with the back still in position it won't come out far enough to remove.
