Removed all bolts. Axle end dropped no problem. Cant get the t-case end to come out. Ive banged on shaft with mallet and it just wont break loose. Any tips?

It's stuck at the cv joint at transfer case. Front driveshaft. I have a rubber mallet and a 2x4. Sprayed with liquid wrench. Will have another go shortly.

Get a screw driver and hammer it between the C.V. and the Flange. May have to rotate the shaft and repeat until it separates.

The driveshaft is stuck to the yoke? Just hit the driveshaft with a hammer. It'll come off. If the yoke is stuck use a yoke puller.

Put all the bolts back in, but backed off one complete turn. Put the jeep in 4hi and take a short drive around the block... it will be loose when you get back under there

Are you putting a new shaft on? If so slide the shaft apart then on the piece still attached give it a few good yanks back and forth.

Is that a grease splatter from the CV above the driveshaft, that could be your vibration problem.

Your shaft is starting to go if the CV is throwing grease. I have gone through 2 stock shafts and that's how it starts.
