    maybe unbolt the whole thing so you can get a good swing to the back of it or take the tow bar off and take it somewhere with a big press (20ton) and see if they can press it out over a day or pressing it out while heating with an oxy. Really concerned about loading it up and giving it a belt and hoping it releases all of a sudden. things can go pear shaped fast.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    try pouring a jug of very hot if not boiling water over the receiver part best ya can.
    give it a good tug and push and tug again. lol
    hot water old school trick.

    may need to do a couple times before ya give up.
    and spray wd40 or similar between attempts.

    even freeze lube spray might be a better idea between attempts.
    I had to do that once with a relay rod once nothing else worked.

    Even give it over night to cool down between attempts.
    it may come loose enough with the heat cycling to allow you to remove it
