Step 9. Leave the drive shaft attached to the diff. That way it will pull
out of the transmission rather than follow it out the tunnel. Unbolt it
before re-installation so you can attach it to the transmission once it is
in the tunnel and then bolt it to the diff last.
Step 17. Don't like to use the rocker bolts. Use someplace stronger.
