If the Camry is anything like the MR2, the procedure requires a brass chisel, if I remember correctly. I do remember that you DO NOT pull on the half shaft as this will cause the interior u-joint thing to separate and spill white lithium grease everywhere...
I STRONGLY suggest acquiring a factory service manual or seeking the assistance of someone that has completed this task before attempting to remove the drive shaft.
I learned the hard way on the MR2...

I replaced my 2003 toyota celica gt 5speed transaxle doing all the work myself. Rebuilt trans = $1100 + $200 core charge fluids + special tools i didnt already have ~ $100 Killed two days worth of labor for a low experience mechanic like myself.
The MANUAL transaxle does not use transmission fluid. All 1994 Toyota manual transaxles use API GL-4 or GL-5 (oil grade), 75W-90 or 80W-90 (viscosity) gear oil. DO NOT USE TRANSMISSION FLUID which is meant for an automatic transaxle.
On top of transmission, drivers side.
Dexron 3 automatic transmission fluid, same for transmission/differential 3 speed transaxle 2.6 qts 4 speed transaxle 3.3 qts manual 2.7 qts 1999 1.8L Corolla Haynes Repair manual.
Haynes Manual for Toyota Tercel 1987-1994 states: Transaxle: Automatic (drain and refill) 2.6 quarts
3, one by the timing belt cover, one on the transaxle under the battery, and the third behind the engine on the firewall.
automatic has a dipstick on drivers side manual has a fill hole in the side
Remove engine and transaxle assembly
Assuming it is a manual transmission: Remove the lower drain plug on the transaxle body and allow all existing fluid to drain completely. Replace the drain plug and remove the fill valve, located higher on the transaxle body. You'll need a pump assembly and vinyl hose to pump the transmission fluid into the transaxle. Any good auto parts store sells these plastic pumps at nominal prices. The pump assembly screws onto the top of the transmission fluid bottle. Pump the new oil through the vinyl hose into the transaxle until it begins to come back out of the fill hole. Then screw the fill plug back in. It a very easy process once you've found the drain and fill plugs and get yourself situated underneath the transaxle.
There is no recall for the Toyota 4runner transmission. Some Toyota's have had break problems that may have started the recall rumors on some Toyota products but, there is no recall for the Toyota 4runner transmission.
