Hi, I'm new to this site.
I've been trying to remove my drive shaft, I have a 2006 Tundra XSP V8 2wd DBL CAB

My issue is, my drive shaft connects straight to the transmission, I'm guessing itll just slide out when I have the other end free. Following down to the bearing carrier the drive shaft goes straight into it.
Then connects a U joint, then straight to the back axle where 4 nuts hold it. Heres the problem those 4 bolts are part of the axle, So I'll have to slide drive shaft forward in order to get it free, Everyone elses tutorials I've seen,the drive shaft is held by 4 bolts with the head on the other side, so when you take the nuts off, you can slide the bolt out and the shaft would drop.

Not for me those 4 bolts are part of the axle itself, only the nuts comes off and the shaft is still sitting on the bolt studs.
Would I have to take the Ujoints off first?
I'm stuck here

take the nuts off, drop the carrier bearing and you should be able to pull the rear off of the rear pinion yoke and slide the slip joint out of the transmission.
