Shouldn't be too much of a problem. I know that every time tighten those bolts I worry about breaking those bolts off too, so I sympathize.
All you'll need to do is extract them from the block using an EZ out. Though it won't be a simple process, you must do it because the strain on the seal in the transmission from the weight of the halfshaft is causing the transmission fluid to leak out. With a lift you'll be fine. Shouldn't be more than a 1 or 2 hour job. Just remember that the torque spec on that bolt is in the 20 lb neighborhood rather than 40 or 50. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
