   right what i have done is:
   
   removed the hub nut
   removed the ball joint from the hub
   unbolted the bearing carriar from the block and is sitting freely
   pulled the shaft like feck
   
   now the driveshaft is hitting a point in the gearbox where it is getting stuck,

    Try to push it back home, rotate 90 degrees and try again. This is all I can think to do.
