I am trying to remove the driveshaft to replace the clutch but when i unbolt it the shaft does not slide back into the yoke i was wondering if there is an easy way to unfreeze the driveshaft without using torches?

I would think using torches would melt the seal and possible other internals
it should slide push in and then pull put
