once you have the four bolts out at the rear end.....put a floor jack under the pumpkin and jack it up. Eventually it will create slack and let you drop the driveshaft under the pumpkin...once there you will be able to slide it out of the tranny.
hope this helps

Hit it with a hammer

Yeah push the yoke back in towards the tranny, you went the wrong way
Tech Tip-
A smart idea would be to get a junkyard yoke and put it in, that way there isn't tranny fluid everywhere when you tip it around

"when all else fails, use a bigger hammer or more duct tape" sound advise i got once from an old wise man.........It is not the critic who counts,the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,who strives valiantly,who knows the great enthusiasms,the great devotions,who spends himself for a worthy cause; who,at the best,knows,in the end,the triumph of high achievement,and who,at worst,if he fails,at least he fails while daring greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.Comment

Spray it with some wd-40 and let it sit over night then try to knock it loose?Comment

Just did this.
Spray with WD or Knock'er'Loose. Grab propane torch and heat the piss out of it. Spray again with WD or Knock'er'loose. (It will smoke and stink, but won't burn.) This cools it, and "wicks" the penetrant into the gaps. Then nail it with a hammer. It should come right off. (This trick works great on stuck bolts too, especially if you can hit just the bolt and cool it faster than the surrounding material.)"On a scale of one to great, I'm.... SUPER AWESOME!"

thanks for the advice.....didnt have a propane torch but i used a flat head screw driver and wedged it in with a hammer and pryed it off.....finally i got that off then 5 minutes later i was putting tranny mounts on my new tranny and there was a little rust on the tranny mounting hole threads so it was hard to tighted the mounts on the tranny....so i was tightening one side (very hard to tighten because of rust) and i herd a crack.... the whole part of the tranny where one of the mounting holes was located just snapped off.....im pissed and i dont know what to do....ill make a thread about thisComment
