I am in the process of installing a PA 3" Body Lift on my 96' B4000 4.0 4x4. All is going well except for the steering shaft. I need to disconnect the upper shaft from the lower shaft so I can put the extender on it.

I removed the bolt holding them together, but the damn thing wont budge. The instructions make it sound like cake by saying "Slide the lower shaft off of the upper shaft."
Are there any tricks to removing it guys? :icon_confused:

Here is a picture of the shafts connected. I circled where I removed the bolt that joins the two shafts.

No trick, that I am aware of just use some lube and try prying it apart is all, screwdriver or vice grips maybe. Some are a bit stubborn from corrosion I guess.
