There are 4 bolts holding it to the differential and 2 holding it in the middle. You'll probably need to pound on it with a rubber mallet or something to get it loose. But once you get the differential side of the driveshaft down, it'll just slide out of the transmission.

i just took apart my drive shaft tonight to replace my hanger bear only to find that one of my u joints is stiff as hell. not only that one of the past owners let the diff run dry
 . looks like a diff rebuild lies in the future for me.

Put it in neutral and turn the driveshaft by hand to the point it needs to be, then either put the e-brake up or put it back in gear, or park. Put some muscle into it. They are knuckle-buster nuts. Pull on the wrench, kick it, punch it, do whatever. It'll come loose eventually.
