heres what i did to remove/install intermediate shaft. car up on stands, oil pan removed, get a couple of blocks of wood(i use short/mid lengths of 2x4), loosen engine/trans mounts, jack up motor on oil pan lip(using blocks of wood), have front motor mount ready to come out, when you get so high you can work front motor mount out, jack motor down, before you do this Make sure things on the bottom and esp the top will clear the motor moving(for instance alt will come close to rad), im shaft will clear fender and you can get out. you also need a seal for im shaft, and a special 'slim' oring for oil seal carrier(im shaft). before you finish dont forget to re-torque motor/trans mounts.
