Does anyone have a driveshaft lying to hand?

I'm making a puller to get a recalcitrant drive shaft out of my front diff.

I need to know the thickness and depth of the groove that runs around the outside of the inner cv joint, just next to the diff.

I could lie underneath mine, but its snowing just now, and I thought if anyone had a shaft off the car, they might be able to measure it for me...

Very grateful

They normally pop out very easy

In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
