Half shaft removal

Too busy ready everyone elses posts I forgot to stick this up yesterday.

I'm struggling to remove my front o/s halfshaft. I should say it is a 24 spline and the diff has an ARB locker. All just new to me, but theres a few things that need doing. The front swivel housing etc has all been stripped down and if I could get the half shaft out I could then remove the swivel and do the seal. I don't really want to go down the route of cutting a new seal to fit it.
The half shaft will pull out an inch or so by hand and then it jams. A gentle tap and it will go back in. No matter how much you wiggle & twist it just jams.
Does the ARB locker have something that would prevent it pulling out? Or is it just a worn shaft. It's been suggest I remove the other side and with a very long drift I drive it out. However - my garage is only wide enough to faciltate removal of one wheel at a time.
Any help greatly appreciated.

series is 10 spline I think

Anyway

Later models are 21 splines 1980 onwards

Post 1980, 24 spline outer but still 10 spline inner at the Diff.

The universal join won't pull through the hole. You need to either take off the stub axle or the whole swivel assembly.

Thanks for the comments - this system has been upgraded and runs 24 spline - I got it out eventually. Got my job done pushed it back in by hand and it's stuck again??? It's just where the splines of the shaft go into the splines of the diff.
It all looked tobe ok on the diff end. And to answer my question - no you can't use a long drift to punch it out.
