Drive shaft question

Does anyone know how to seperate the rear driveshaft halfs so that you can replace the center support bearing? Or does anyone have any ideas on how abouts it may happen? I heard from someone that there is like a bolt inside that center cv joint that holds it together. Does this sound kinda right?

There is a nut that holds the two section together and allows access to the center support bearing. It is illustrated well in the shop manuals. I will try and scan them in tonight for you.

Okay now i seem to have run into a snag..... i got the drive shaft all apart (u-joints and center cv) but inside the cv joint housing there is not a nut or anyway i can see to get it apart besides to press the two halfs apart from each other. and to do that seems like it would be a trick in itself. Someone please help me if you have any advise on this...thanks
Jared

I replied to this thread in the Mod Mania Forum. Maybe the info there will help you out.
