Please be careful trying to pull the driveshaft down with slide hammer etc…Like Trex says, it is super easy for those vise grips to move destroying splines or seal area. If none of the methods already mentioned help, you may have to pull the powerhead…Prying down on the driveshaft while rapping on the driveshaft near the crank with an air hammer usually frees em up for me…Once it moves a little bit, spray the splines with oil and tap the driveshaft back up into the crank…Keep working it back and forth til it comes out…
