This video explains how to remove the driveshaft from a Ford Mustang. The wheel has already been removed, so proceed to unscrew each bolt securing the driveshaft from both sides using a power tool.

Sometimes, you may need to tap lightly with a hammer on areas with some oxidation that prevents removal. Also, remove the bolts securing the supports that hold the driveshaft to the vehicle.

Now, extract the entire driveshaft and manually check the correct mechanical operation of the joints. Refit the driveshaft by reversing the disassembly steps.
