Default How do you remove slip yoke off of aluminum drivesahft?

hey guys need to know asap... giving it 30 min, then the driveshaft goes to the junkyard with the tranny... If possible since its a aluminum, I figure I can salvage $50 out of the my issues selling the driveshaft with no slip yoke.


slip yoke is jammed in tail of tranny, I believe output shaft crapped out, either way have a another tranny sitting for me at the junkyard. need to drop this core off...

I just seen an aluminum driveshaft somewhere in a junkyard, it may not have been a GM part.
It had a warning sticker on it that said you need to use heat to melt the nylon retaining things. Use no other means to remove the u-joint.
Maybe not in those exact words. It also said DO NOT USE A PRESS.
