Tried levering it and the nipple snapped off in me hand!Universal joint sheared off

Have been advised to either try and drill out the bit left or just replace the whole UJ. Might go for option 2 as at least it gives me practice replacing them and they are only about £6. part No: RTC3458

Update:

Removed the broken bit using an Easyout. Very easy to do because of all the grease. Part number is: TYL100030. Remember that as well as the 3 points on each propshaft, the Track Rod and drag link ends often have grease nipples.

The fields are sodden and the clay soil made it very slippery. Typically I left the sand ladders in the garage.

We were just about to go and get the tractor to pull us out when we got free, so drove around for a bit then went shooting. Really must get new tyres as these General Grabbers are useless offroad.

Picked up some grease gun cartridges for doing the UJ’s and sliding joints once I have hosed the cow muck off the underside.First time out and I got stuck
