Maybe I'm stupid? I can't figure out how to get this driveline off
My front drive line on my 1500. The bolts are tight as hell and my drive line is spinning. I'm trying to pull my t case but I can't figure out how to pop these bolts off. Anyone got a idea? I need to get inside my diff anyway so this is me gutting my truck.

You're gonna have to move the driveshaft (with tcase in 2wd/neutral) to a position where you can get a wrench on a bolt. Then reach in the cab and put the tcase in 4hi/lo. Get back under the truck and loosen the bolt. Repeat process for remaining bolts.
Having fun yet?
It's easier if ya got a buddy to shift the tcase for you.

Yeah, that'll make it more of a challenge.
Do you have a large pipe wrench that can be put on the DS and be wedged?
Also, it might take some work and potential of bolt breaking, but opening up the CAD plate and manually pushing the shift fork over. This might be easier if you have the passenger side up on a floor jack so you can spin the tire slightly to move the fork over. Alot of ppl report breaking the bolts holding the CAD plate on so get some penetrating fluid on them beforehand.
