Yes, you're supposed to rotate the flywheel to reach each bolt. Set the transmission in neutral, then use a hefty flatblade screwdriver or a small pry bar to rotate the flywheel tooth by tooth until you can reach the next bolt. The engine should always rotate clockwise from the front, so laying under the truck with your head pointed to the front, the flywheel should turn to the left. And that's a dumb missed step, but Chilton's can be crap and miss stuff like that. Yes, remove the driveshaft now. Unbolt it from the rear u-joint, it should slip forward enough to drop off the yoke and then you should be able to pull it out of the transmission.

Leperflesh posted:Found the step, and also found the driveshaft removal instructions. This is a two-piece driveshaft and it looks like the forward piece cannot slide backwards through the yoke at all. I need to disconnect the rearmost u-joint right in front of the transfer case, slide the rear shaft forward a bit and drop it, then it slides off, and then I can remove the center bearing support (the yoke), and then the forward section of the drive shaft can slide out of the back of the transmission. Huh. I figured the S10 would have a one-piece driveshaft. Shows how much I know.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you're probably going to have to pull the transmission again and torque those bolts down to spec with actual loctite.
