Default Pulling The Engine

I am pulling the engine on my 85. I decided to pull the trans with it. I can not get the damn drive shaft bolts to budge. Any ideas?

Also do i need to remove the center console to remove the linkage?

Any one in southwest Ohio wants to help Im buying the beer!

The bolts should not be too tight. Suggest PB Blaster on the bolts and let them soak.

If it was me, I would leave the transmission. Have your removed the hood to pull the engine or are you lifting and pulling to the side. I pulled mine to the side and left the transmission. Much easier.
