What shaft? I really have no idea what you're asking.

Yes you need to remove the driveshaft to get the pig out, the straps unbolt on the diff side and it'll just slide out of the slip yoke on the t-case.

I prefer to the drop the whole beam on the ground to pull the pig rather than wrestle with it in the rig.

Sounds easy enough. i don't really want to drop the whole beam. I pretty sure that the u joints are bad because when in 4wd it sounds like it with increase increase speed. And if it was the gears i would think they would have blown up, since Ive been using a decent amount today with the 2 feet of snow we got. Would I be correct.
