Yep, I used a tiny pick to remove as much of the old hard grease that I could then shot it full of PB Blaster. It's soaking now, I'll keep you posted.

Ok here’s how I got it apart and replaced all the u-joints and got a new carrier bearing installed.
If anyone else wants to know how to separate a 50 year old slip joint, this is how I did it:
-clear out as much of the old grease as possible, enough to get some PB Blaster down the splines
-let it soak over night
-remove the grease fitting, pulling them apart creates a vacuum
-tie the ends of each yoke to something immovable I used two 500 lb tie downs and two opposing fence posts
-tighten as much as possible take two 5 lb hammers and tap evenly on each side, take out slack
-repeate until they pop apart
Hope this helps someone
