Replacing Driveshaft

[chrispy.clio]

I'm replacing my drivers driveshaft and i want to know if you can take it out with out undoing the shock as i dont want to loose my cmaber setting. Can it be done?
Also what gearbox oil will i need to replace the stuff that will fall out? Will the gearbox oil have been replaced in it old services?

Any help appriciated

The drivers side will come off without having to drain any oil. You can try separating it at the bottom ball joint and disconnecting the track rod but i doubt your suspension will allow for enough movement of the hub to get the shaft out.
