It's a bit hard to follow your post. It sounds as if you are trying to
disconnect the driveshaft in preparation for removing the engine and
transmission. You actually don't need to. There are no bolts where the
front of the driveshaft connects to the transmission -- the sliding
splined output of the trans slips into the front of the driveshaft. If
you do wish to remove the driveshaft, there are 4, count em, 4 bolts that
hold the rear flange of the driveshaft to the rear axle.
