Default Front drive shaft rusted or stuck somehow

Hello, 05 H2 front drive shaft rusted into the transfercase. I have it soaking in liquid wrench at the moment, I have tried prying, large hammer and air chisel. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Scott

I've had better luck with Blaster PB solvent on old rusty scooter parts. Works well after a 2-5 day soak.

Scott, both AZN and FLY are completely correct.
Liquid wrench wont really do much
If its frozen, you need to find a way to penetrate through the rusted bond, and the only way to do that is with heat or some dissolvent.
PB Blaster is good for that. Given there are some stronger things at NAPA that will get through it too.
Heat is the old reliable... but remember you could heat and tweak too much and break what you are trying to loosen up

Hope this helps

Thank you everyone, I will give the pb blaster a shot first and use heat as a last resort.
