Default Drives shaft bolts

This is going to be abit of a stupid question but it's been a while since I took it apart and don't remember.


The bolt head should be on the rear of the jurid coupling to the drives shaft flange right? So the nut is facing you in this pic.

If that's correct, how do I get the bolt in from the back, doesn't seem to enough space to get it in?

UNBOLT, slide propshaft forward, install bolts, tighten bolts.

I always leave the JURID flange on the propshaft.
