  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.
