Well Last June I had to get my drive shaft replaced. Turns out it went bad already and had to get a replacement sent. I purchased at Buyautoparts.com so not really happy about having to get this fixed again........the screws in the back started to come out and was leaking fluid........bad bad bad......soooo luckily atleast the part is under warranty for a year......now my question is....if I decide to take on the task of replacing it myself...how difficult is it.....we are talking the entire drive shaft now which is 3 separate pieces.......how much time and difficulty are we looking at? any experienced peeps on here? any help or info would be gladly appreciated.

I attached a pic of the bad one. where you can see the screws started coming out...apparently my mechanic says the center support bearings are noisy now so that why recommend whole entire replacement.

Bolts coming out is poor workmanship (imho).

It is hard to gauge skill, tools and information you have. Also you may need to go beyond just replacing the shaft and see where the leak came from.

If you can get hold of service manual, and decide on your own.
