do you mean the front drive shaft (from motor to front diff )
or a cv (from front wheel to front diff )

1st thing you have to do is undo the front diff bolts (so you can move it all around)
then push the front diff foward and pull back on the driveshaft ....it is spring loaded at the couler

spray it with wd-40 or pb blaster and put the shaft in a vice and work it around (its full if rust) (DONT HEAT UP THE SHAFT there is seals in the diff that will get destroyed).....dude you just gota work it around to get it freed up

have sprayed with kroil and im replacing the bearings so not worried about the seal. i have been pulling on it for 3 days and so have others and still no luck. the axles took a mallet and a crowbar to get out. but there isn't a spot to pry on this
