727 - Driveshaft Jammed All The Way In

Just a little add on to the discussion, if somebody reading this is experiencing similar issue, it would be very easy to loosen the eight nuts that hold front spring hangers to body and then push entire axle/spring assembly back enough to remove shaft. Just don't stretch flexible brake hose too far or just remove end from axle housing to give hose a little extra play. Much easier I would think than removing U bolts/shocks and prying out and in housing.
