I was trying to pull the front driveshaft to replace a bad u-joint, hammering on the flange to get it separated from the transfer case and the propeller joint housing separated instead. Some big ass bearings came out the whole deal. I can't get it back together without getting the housing off of the transfer case. Must be rusted on pretty good. Is there a trick to getting this thing to crack loose? I've been hammering on it for hours feeling defeated. Please help
 






Went at it with a fresh head today, let some penetrating spray soak for a couple hours, took about 2 seconds it was off:hammer:
