you are going to feel incredibly stupid when I give you the solution....

pop the coupler fitting off the t-case that seals the slip joint and just pull the t-case down. You dont have to unhook the front shaft from the pig at all.....

Your welcome. I just got done doing my throw out bearing on my b2 Saturday (I have had to pull my trans 3 times in the past year). PM me if you have any questions. Do yourself a favor and replace your slave and throw out bearing while you are in there so you are not pulling it again soon.
