Driveshafts in Fiesta diff

I dont like asking dumb questions although over the years I have asked plenty,but... How do the drive shafts fit in the diff on my chain driven diff that apparently is a Fiesta. Thought they might just go in on splines. But the b******ds wont come out. There must be something obvious that I am missing. Help please.

Wire clip on end of shaft, put pressure on it and give a whack, should pop out

when i took the drive shafts out of a 1997 zetec gearbox from a fiesta they were held in with c clips and needed a dam good wack with a big hammer to get them out.
if you give them one BIG smack it should loosen and you can then tap them out.

Got the buggers out with a bloody great lever. Suprised at the amout of corrosoion to the chassis and the bolts. The suspension had little travel as the bolts were corroded in.
Thanks for the help guys.
