Extension Shaft Removal.
Hi. Just wondering if any of you guys know how to remove the extension shaft from the transmission. I wanna clean it and relube it since I heard that the shaft strips due to dried grease.

Extension shaft removal
@1186KA9
Hope I did the 2 attachments correctly. Pages were from a service manual bought online many moons ago. It will not allow me to copy and paste directly. Second attachment shows pictures of special tool to remove extension shaft. No information on thread size of this special tool. Another member doing the same work bought this tool from Amazon. Good luck.Removal
Make sure jacks and safety stands are placed properly,
and hoist brackets are attached to correct positions on
the engine.
Apply parking brake and block rear wheels so the
vehicle will not roll off stands and fall on you while
working under it.
CAUTION: Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
1. Remove the drain plug, and drain the differential oil
(see page 15-4).
2. Remove the cotter pins and castle nuts, than separate
the ball joints from the lower arm using the
special tool (see section 18).
3. Remove the right damper pinch bolt, then separate
the damper fork and damper (see section 18).
4. Pry the driveshafts out of the differential and intermediate
shaft (see section 16).
CAUTION:
Do not pull on the driveshaft, as the inboard
joint may come apart.
Use care when prying out the assembly, and pull
it straight to avoid damaging the differential oil
seal or the intermediate shaft outer seal.
5. Pull on the inboard joint to remove the right driveshaft
from the differential and to remove the left
driveshaft from the intermediate shaft (see
section 16).
6. Remove the intermediate shaft assembly from the
oil pan (see section 16).
7. Tie plastic bags over the driveshaft ends.
NOTE: Coat all precision finished surfaces with
clean engine oil.
8. Remove the 36 mm sealing bolt and O-ring, then
disconnect the extension shaft from the differential
using the special tool.
NOTE: Shift the transmission into the P position to
lock the secondary gear.
