I replace the flex joint this morning while the temps were in the low 60's. It took about an hour and a half from set up to clean up. I was able to replace it with removing the center drive shaft support bracket and resting the shaft of a jack stand. I had to lower the shaft a bit and push it off the the side to gain clearance to remove and replace the joint.

The old joint may have been a replacement from before I got the car as a couple of the bolts were swapped from the front side to the rear side. There are two different bolt lengths, the shorter bolts go from the front to the rear.

Not a bad job at all
