Question drive shaft installation

While putting some spacers to lift the rear of my truck the rear end axle fell and my drive shaft cae out. We got everything back together except the drive shaft and I just wanted some advice from you guys before I do this. it seems pretty simple and that's what's kinda making me nervous. I basicaly just take the four bolts out attaching the shaft to the rear end slide it back in then put the four bolts back on correct? We where gonna do it tonite but realized we didn't have the torx bits to do it. do I need any special threadlock for it?

you will need a 12mm 12point socket or wrench and some sort of snipe or impact wrench(they can be pretty tite) use blue locktite on threads when re-assembling.
