Default Driveshaft removal to swap transmission

Ok folks, I followed the tread to remove auto trans, and all was good except getting the drive shaft out of the trans. Can anyone help? It said to remove the bracket and the amount of room to slide it out but no go. How do you remove the center section? I have the bolts removed, but it is totally stuck together. Help please I am so close but feel so far! Thanks

350's have a flex coupler at the rear diff. Unbolt it there and the mid-section and you should be fine.
Sorry, not sure if 250s used the same thing but dropping the mid and tail section works both cases.
