Re:Quick driveshaft question
stop.... don't work on your car anymore... go to a competent mechanic!
Seriously, you just undo the lower ball joint, seperate it, and swing the knuckle out of the way. It should just slide out (assuming you took the nut off)...

On to bottom of the lower control arm there is a 17mm castle nut with a cotter pin in it. Remove the pin, take off the nut, and smack the side of the lower control arm. (well in this case since you dont care) you can beat on the ball joint upward so it splits. However, if you want to salvage the axles dont ever beat on the end of them, they will mushroom out pretty easy.

If all else fails, just try some PB Blaster, a gear puller and some patience. I had a Subaru shaft seize on me and broke 3 Craftsman gear pullers getting it out. The end was mushroomed like you wouldn't believe from all the pressure... I ended up just kind of tightening it, sprayed it, let it soak and tapped the end with a hammer until it broke loose.
