You need 2 13mm condination wrenches. That is a box on one end and opened end on the other. Get under the van and remove 4 bolts on each flange. You will have to move the vehicle slitely to rotate the shaft to get to all the bolts, (8 total). Each bolt has self locking nuts, so thay will be tight all the way off. Kick out the shaft. It weighs about 40 lb's. Eric 86-VW4x4 vw4x4@fyi.net 72-240z Pittsburgh, PA USA 1936-Chrysler
