Spray it down with a good penetrator and hit it with a hammer.

I dont have a 4wd so I got nothing to look at, but if it's hung up and you cant get it out, can you just replace the bolts and press out the U joint?

Mine did that when I changed the ujoints. Just as 2k1 said... give it a shot of your favourite penetrator (the kind in a can.........) and smack it with a hammer. Did the trick for me.
