How do I take out the drive shafts on my truck. I have removed the 4 bolts at the rear pumpkin. Drive shaft will not come down. I have taken out the 2 bolts at the center of the shaft and I have tried to pull the shaft out of the rear of the transmission but with the back still in position it won't come out far enough to remove.

See pic if driveshaft stuck on trans shaft grease it there shold be a grease fitting if not then try to separate it if like pumpkin bolts. If not you may have to hammer it off at ujoint or heat and penetrating oil.
