Ford 1200

My Ford 1200 has a leaking seal where the driveshaft goes into the front differential. Before I attempt to replace the seals I would like to know for sure how to get the driveshaft tube and the driveshaft removed from the front differential. Any help is appreciated.

looks like clamps holding the tube pieces in place, and snap rings keeping the universal joint in place.
I'd say un-clamp the boot and push it back, undo the snap ring so the u joint can slide back and the drop it all out of the way.
It's how the picture looks anyway. Hopefully someone has done it and will pipe up!

Very simple, all I had to do was get started. Remove clamps, slide boot to center, slide back the exterior tube. In the front the roll pin will be showing. Knock it out, slide back the drive shaft, take it off the front and then slide it forward off of the universal joint.
