You should beable to undo the bolts connecting it to your diff. and it'll just slide out of the tail housing.

You can kinda lightly pry the rear u-joints forward (once you unscrewed the bolts). Once that is done, slide it a little forward to pull it down and then pull it out.

I had that trouble with mine, I guess they get stuck somewhat.
