Driveshaft and yolk nut have to be removed, then it should be easily removed, by tapping the pinion back. Diagrams top D44 bottom AMC20

put the nut back on it and whack it with a 5lb hammer. shouldn't be more than3 or 4 soft strikes, but I've had a few that needed a solid 10 hits before they let go.
if you need help with the gears, let me know and I'll lend tools or a hand
