Stuck slip yoke help!

Anyone got any tips on un-sticking a stuck slip yoke on a rear drive shaft?
I've tried bashing it with a hammer which didn't work, also tried pumping it full of grease to force it out but its not completely stuck so the grease just leaks out.
I've got it soaking in wd40 at the moment, any help would be appreciated!

Most likely full of sand, only need it to last for a trip on Sunday...would it do much damage if I put it in as is? Will be doing mostly beach driving...

Put it in a bucket of fuel and leave it for a few hours then work it off. The fuel will liquify the oil that is in there andbecome more slick it will make it easier to pull apart. If that doesn't work gete some heat on it even boiling water in a bucket can work. Last but my fave kick it really hard tell it beotch
don't make me bring out the belt then open a can of whop ass on it.

make sure you really really clean out all the fuel etc before applying heat .. "boom" well may be one way to get it free .. Blow it up ..
