front shaft issues

hey so I want to take my FRONT drive shaft out to inspect for wear, but It doesn't want to budge. I have an 82 pickup. I have removed all the bolts (8). but It doesn't want to go. should I go muscle and heat or is there an efficient way to approach this? want to take it off because the cardan(I think that's what its called) feels like it has some slop..

Also the penetrating spray of your choice it has been on for a while.

I pry back towards the transfer case from the front .

Watch it does not hit you when it comes loose.
