i disagree.
it's wound tight on either side of the back u-joint, you can't torch that without doing damage. even when you get access to it, you won't be able to just pull it off the drive shaft.
i'd say it will need to have the rear u-joint broken and prolly the front as well, yank the drive shaft and replace. if it went past the front u-joint that can be a nightmare. + getting that wire off the part of the differential and after the u-joint will take some work. there are seals and such all over that area, you can't just go in there with a torch blazing, those seals are heat sensitive.
