Driveshaft - Info & Repair Instructions
Here's a better idea of the fasteners involved. Although each coupling has 6 bolts going thru it, there are 3x yoke to coupling bolts and 3 x coupling to tailshaft bolts. They are different bolts with different torque requirements.

(Item 1) Tailshaft assembly including 2x couplings and total 6 coupling bolts & 6 coupling nuts, but not including coupling to trans or coupling to diff fasteners. Part No 92157731
(Item 6) Coupling Kit including 1x coupling and total 3 coupling bolts & 3 coupling nuts. Part No 92149040
Thanks for pulling this all together Paul. Great to have it all in one place. As some of these pieces of hardware are single use, knowing what to buy comes in real handy! Know what socket is needed for #2?

That one, I believe #2, is an external Torx style.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx
An external TORX version exists, where the screw head has the shape of a TORX screwdriver bit, and a special TORX socket is used to drive it, although a standard hex socket can often be used. These are found primarily on automobile engines.
