You should be able to use a prybar between the backside of the joint and the yoke on the axle. I have never seen a need to use a hammer to remove a driveshaft, even when I lived in the rusty upper midwest.
Driveshaft Stuck in 86 Cutlass

I was thinking the same, until I started prying on it yesterday. It didnt budge. This car has definitely seen its share of winters, based on the amount of rust under the car (and sitting on my floor as a result of prying and pounding)....its a chunky mess....
I appreciate that. Had a buddy suggest hitting it with heat also. Going to be a couple of weeks before I can work on the car again due to a busy schedule, but if I can't get it, I'll take some pictures of my progress and go from there.

It doesn't appear to be welded, but that doesn't mean it isn't. Worst case, I'll get out the reciprocating saw and cut it...but I didn't really want to go that route if I didn't have to

I was joking, I hope no one is that stupid but at the same time it wouldn't really surprise me.
Based on all of the things I've discovered since I started tearing this car down, it wouldn't surprise me either. Whoever had this car before me did some "interesting" work that would lead me to believe this to be possible.
