While I don't have an sa/fb I'm going to assume it's set up like most other rwd cars. Take a putty knife, craper, or something similar to the driveshaft to diff. flange. Set it at the seem and hammer it into it. Might want to lube it with some liquid wrench or similar first if you have it.

MN. Sorry...

Try a smaller cold chisel at the flange. Let the liquid wrench set in a while longer.

Brake cleaner and a rag works good to clean the inside of the bellhousing to remove grease/oil. If you want to clean the outside, a wire wheel works well.
