Taking out a drive shaft from the Ford Transit Connect is a challenging task recommended mainly for experienced automotive enthusiasts. If you are confident in your skills, I can provide some guidance. To start, you will have to take off the wheel, hub nut, and brake caliper. You should also slightly loosen the ball joint nut and the 15mm bolt. Use a hammer to push down on the hub for better access. Next, detach the shaft from the gearbox, which can be quite tricky. On the driver's side, remove two 13mm nuts and bolts holding the bearing piece onto the lower block. You may need to use some leverage, but you're almost finished.

To extract a 600 mm, 6 mm steel wire that is stuck, use a small ratchet strap with a wire dog. Position the wire around the stub beside the gear box and secure the wire dog tightly. Leave some slack to attach the ratchet. Then, wrap the strap around the strut and tighten it to create tension. Rotate the gear box and gently tap the stubborn point with a coal chisel at the designated spot from the engine side. This method is effective and efficient for removing the stubborn wire.
