Thanks. Now do you need two wrenches? One to hold the bolt and the other to remove the nut? For some reason it is not budging. The driveshaft and differential are both off the car and trying to prevent it from turning is difficult enough. Any other pointers?

Hmm... since yours is off the car already, how about using two wrenches as a way to give you some leverage. How do I explain this...
look at the pic I attached. You might be able to get the driveshaft off this way.

How do you put a socket wrench on the bolt head. It does not fit on there. It hits part of the driveshaft. I will have to take a pix to show what I mean. I can use an "open" ended wrench, but afraid it will strip it.

just use the closed end of the wrench and it will work fine. once it gets loose you will have to hold the other side as well.
