This is assuming that the prop shaft is in its original factory
orientation, with the "bean can" CV joint at the front.
The factory service manuals suggest re-installing it with
the CV joint in the rear (and the UI-joint at the front).
I believe this is because the CV joint tends to get
stuck in the frame when you try to install the shaft from
the rear.
