Driveshaft removal

Get a 1/2" impact and try a smaller socket, maybe metric that would fit very snug. Don't even THINK of putting a 1/2" impact on a loose socket because you won't have a bolt head anymore after that
Granted there will always be a tiny bit of play to the left and right, but not an excessive amount.

if you havent done this already, jack up the rear end so the tires are off the ground. rotate the rear tires until you get a good angle on the bolt you are trying to remove, and then set the ebrake to lock it down. having 2 people in the case real makes it alot easier... something you may already know but just throwing it out there just in case. and Adam06FX4 is right, 12 point socket is correct. use that with a breaker bar or impact wrench and you'll be good. using a 12mm wrench will make them alot harder to break loose...

You'd be surprised as how little power it takes to turn it too.
