Spray some penetrant or lube of some kind in/on where the tranny and shaft meet and turn the shaft back and forth by hand; probably just dry. Be sure and apply some grease to the splines when re-assembling.

You want to support the weight of the shaft by hand and pull it straight back when you're removing it.
