You need to line up 2 sets of splines. The splines on the long shaft are not lined up with the splines in the PTO clutch. Some people use an impac on the long bolt.

Push the shaft in a 1/2", turn it a smidgen and pull again, you may have to this a number of times till both sleeves as Schwiebert mentioned are lined up and the shaft will slide out.
You face the same thing when re-inserting the shaft.
I would not bang the shaft back to hard if it wont go to avoid marring or mushrooming the spline ends.

Don't forget rubber O ring if you forgot to take it out that can keep it from coming out.
