I thread a bolt on the end (can't remember what size or thread but it's common) on the passenger side and use a slide hammer to pop it out. You did remove the disconnect from the passenger side oil pan?

It's probably corroded to the oil pan. Make sure all the bolts are out. Try soaking the mating parts with PB Blaster. One YT video I once saw for engine replacement they had to basically rotate the diff on the oil pan up and down by whacking it with a BFH. That or try prying it at the end of the tail to make it turn.
thanks guys i got it out it was corroded in side the oil pan what a pain is the a-- this thing was i drop the front cross member to see if i can pry it out still no luck then i found my long crow par i went on top of the motor and pry it right in the middle push the bar right up to the oil pan then i seen it starting to come out keep doing it to it pop out then i keep turning it to get pass the motor mount up the hole where the a/c and alt where then out it came note to some one who has to do this wash the grease off before you take it out my hands keep sliding off
