First choice is a press.... but as you will not have one or would have tried that.

Large vice and sockets, one to be a close fit within the yoke, other for the end to push out in to. If it does not move when loaded with pressure try some judicial tapping to free.

Old props have circlips, not left this in have you ?

there is no circlip, there was a 6 mm pin tho which i drilld out to 7 mm

iv also tried the bearing puller to pull it of 25 ton of presure and still no movement

oh i forgot to say its a sideshaft or halfsft or drive shaft take your pick of names
