Location: Mountain City, Tennessee		Please excuse the following simple question for I am a novice with the ball and trunnion universal joint.

I have to remove my transmission in a 1959 Desoto and know that the driveshaft has to be removed first. I assume that I disconnect the drive shaft at the rear of the propeller shaft first.

After that do I just undo the 9/16 nuts on the front of the propeller shaft and pull the drive line out from the bolts?

This is probably a very dumb question for most of you but I want to make sure of the proper steps involved. Thank you.
