Driveshaft romoval help
Ok, so I found out that I may be needing to replace the RMS soon, and I may be pulling the transmission with the help of these:
My problem is that they say to use an Audi special tool that attaches to the drive shaft in order to keep it in alignment.
Has anyone removed the driveshaft and if so, did you have any difficulties?
TIA

This description may help you sir...
I have not done this job, however this thorough sounding write-up which mentions the "special tool" may help put you at ease. See under "R & R".

I took a picture under the car, but I can't seem to get the picture uploaded. So, go to Photo Bucket & search for 4AudiQ and that picture is at the very bottom.
Here is my make-shift drive shaft support mechanism. The factory suggests you lower the drive shaft as 1 piece with some kind of support underneath it. Of course, they were not expecting us to replace their design with a better design, so they expected us DIY’ers to put the 2 piece drive shaft back in place.

Did you by chance use a one piece replacement? I'm looking at that since my new one as a bit of a moaning noise every now and then. Thanks.
