There are clips with 8mm bolts on the axle yoke. Then on the T-case side, you have 4 8mm bolts holdint the double cardan joint to the t-case yoke. Not a long time at all. If you have the factory skidplate, it's a pain, just the crossmember and it is easy to get to.

Those awkward (and easily rounded-off) 8mm bolts can be replaced with four Grade 8 5/16"-24x1.25" bolts on each driveshaft.

so then i should take the front drive shaft with me also. I take it that the u-joint side at the transfer case has the same setup as the cardan does thanks guys

Sorry, my bolt reference was for the t-case side. I'm running a PORC SYE and have two front driveshafts, so I use the larger bolts on each at the case.

If you have the GKN style shaft, it doesn't unbolt from the T-case. It slides on a splined shaft, like the stock rear shaft. You will need to find a yoke to fit the output shaft. Try www.driveshaftsuperstore.com.
I haven't called them yet, but they make a lot of yokes for odd stuff. Let us know how it goes, this has been brought up before with no good solution.
