The steel pin you are seeing is part of the differential. There is also one on the back of the transmission. You will probably have to remove the exhaust system and heat shields to get to the center bearing. I have always had to loosten the big nut on the driveshaft, disconnect the center bearing and collapse the driveshaft at the center spline and then it will clear the offending pin.
Good luck its not easy.
