driveshaft removal problem

This happens from time to time. As suggested above give it a several 'taps' with a hammer it different spots around while rotating the driveshaft & pulling the driveshaft towards the front of the car. Forward pressure & shock from the hammer will allow it to slip loose.

My one-piece driveshaft does this everytime, the rear cardan/driveshaft flange is a snug fit and I have to pop it loose every time. Except it has a larger cardan joint/flange which allows me to get leverage with a small/med prybar which makes it easy to take off.
