I ended up using a a gear puller (I think thats what its called). You need to be careful and ensure that the teeth are equal on all three sides. Then I used an old large socket as a base plate for the center screw. The teeth kept slipping so I ended up using a ratchet strap to keep the teeth from slipping. This technique worked for me but it was very slow going and required a lot of breaks.

Unhook the transfer case side first than pull the drive shaft from that end towards the rear tire. That will give you a lot of leverage and it should come out. Work it back and forth from the loose end.
