Default 95 VDP Rear Flex Joint Replace

I'm sorry, I've been looking for a "how to" on this for hours.

How do I replace the rear rubber flex joint/flex plate on my 95 XJ6 VDP.??

I'm so angry. I've been anxiously waiting this part to come in the mail, and I finally got it, got under the car, loosened one bolt, then boom, there's no space to remove the bolt!

You have to have the car on stands and in nuetral. Rotate the drive shaft till you can slide out the back past the diff. The others gor out the front and then pry the driveshaft forward till you can slip the new one in. Might want to check the front one too

I got the ones out of the front, but no matter how I have the three turned, (the ones that go towards the diff) I can not get them out!


Thanks for assisting though, Its greatly appreciated ! Hope to hear back soon!

Got it!, I think when prying it away, to get the flex joint out, I think I ripped the rubber on the center u-joint off. >.<

Is it possible to replace this or do I have to replace the drive shaft now?
