Have you run into difficulty? This is normally pretty easy stuff. Did you try giving it a little smack forward? They can hang up in the yoke...

Are you using a hoist or is the vehicle on the ground? If on the ground make sure you’ve blocked the wheels and have set the parking brake so that the vehicle can’t roll away when the driveshaft is out. Once the shaft is out having the transmission in park (or In gear on a manual trans) does nothing to stop the vehicle from rolling away. Safety first.

Generally recommended to mark it so you can put it back in in the same position.
