prop shaft removal

[mrcrappy]

Can any one tell me how to remove a 350 wedge prop shaft, i have removed the exhaust and the propshaft but cannot seem to get the clearance to get it out of the transmission tunnel, i have cantacted 3 specialists 2 say it is possible to remove it , 1 from the front, 1 from the diff end at the back, the third guy said the engine has to be lifted, i started this job hoping to get it done in a day and im still not convinced the shaft will come out. cheers any help would be appreciated
