You probably have lots of old grease and dirt that's "hiding" the two piece coupling at the end of the tranny. This holds the end of the torque tube in place on the tranny. Clean up this area and you will be able to see the four bolts that "clamp" the coupling together. Remove those and the two pieces should come out. Be prepared for a tough time with these bolts. They are a bugger. You won't be able to remove the torque tube until you pull the tranny forward.
