How do I replace a driveshaft flange?

Use driveshaft and lock washers to fit. Basically lift the car. Rear exhaust should be removed. Then remove the shaft gently. Now fix the new shaft. Exhaust should be reinstalled same as hangers. New gasket can used to avoid leaks. Finally lower the car and make it warm for minute.
