[alfa] milano center support stuff

[Carson or Wendy <dammwood@xxxxxxx>]

A while back I asked about the possibility of getting the driveshaft out 
without taking the transaxle down.
Thought I had it licked put in the end I couldn't split the exhaust at 
the slip joint near the rear caliper anyway. I couldn't for the life of 
me get the rear coupling off the input yoke either. I ended up dropping 
the front of the TA as much as I could with the exhaust in place. This 
was just enough to pop the rear coupling off the yoke, then I was off to 
the races changing my driveshaft center bearing support. The darn Verde 
still had it's heat shield in place over the cat which took a bit to get 
the rusty screws out and it was a bit tight getting at the bolts on the 
center coupling with the exhaust in place. I was at work so didn't have 
my air tools. My little 3 jaw otc puller was perfect for getting the 
center yoke off. Getting the rear driveshaft section back in was kinda 
tricky with those little ball joint center guide things (technical term) 
took 4 tries to get the rear one right. I was so amazed that the heat 
shield over the cat was still there I even put it back in.... 3.5 hours, 
I was pretty happy how it all went. I labeled and indexed the heck out 
of everything and I had no parts left over....:-) With crappy tires and 
a tight lsd the verde sure does great donuts....
