1936 clamshell removal

Question.
Does the front floor need to come out to get to the universal joint clamshell assembly? Is there a link to instructions for this process? Thanks!

I have always removed the floorboards. In my opinion, much easier that way than attempting to remove the shells from beneath the vehicle.

What is your purpose for removing them?

Got it. Also had to remove the speedometer housing. Thanks

Here's a 1940 clamshell for reference. Replace the cork seal with a new neoprene seal while you have it apart.https://www.ebay.com/itm/2512552285...d5kId2zIyp8+ibekB+QzajzLk=|tkp:Bk9SR8brgvHzYQ

Project is complete. Learned that the last person to remove the clamshell did not put the two paper gaskets in place. Took it for a drive and still had a couple of drops on the floor pan. Hoping it is just residual oil dripping down from surrounding areas from the previous leak. A big thanks to everyone’s help
