back in the day when i was doing trannys they were all called half-shafts..
10 minute job on a hoist..
pop the wheel, pop the axle nut, pop the lower ball joint, pull whole shebang out of the way...take a crowbar and pop the shaft from the tranny

BFH didnt do anything.
btw you wouldnt want to use a Hammer on it to much anyway as it will bend the shaft that goes thru the spindle and then that would be another bitch to get it out.

hammering it straight on the end wont hurt, or a slide hammer will help too.
