Help !!! Removing Front Driveshaft ?????

[72longbed]

Does anybody know the 'secret' to removing those dang four bolts that hold the front shaft to the transfer case yoke???? 72 K20 with an NP205. Tried every 1/2" wrench in my collection (a Lot) and still can't get a good hold on them. Removed the exhaust that runs through the crossmember there, thought that would give me the room I needed ... no luck.

I'm wondering if there is a very shallow headed air ratchet and shallow socket that would work in there??

How do you Guru's that have done this a few hunderd times get it done??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I used a wobble socket with a long extension and my impact, but I have a 221 rockwell TC.

I just did mine in my Blazer with an NP205. I used a 1/2 inch box/combination wrench. It took a lot of turning, but I was able to get it off.
