I am trying to pull the axle shafts out of the diff. any ideas whats holding them to the LSD. I have everything off that can come off still nothing. Any ideas?
A long pry bar wedged bewteen the axle flange and backing plate is all I needed to pop the axle out of my housing. Nothing holds them in to the carrier, remove the 4 nuts off the axle retainer, behind the backing plate, and all should pop out.
That only holds the backlash/preload adjuster. With every thing removed the axles should come out with a little force. With the spider gears coming apart in yours, some of the material may have wedged itself between the splines. May have to rent a slide hammer from the local auto parts store to get the axle out.
I work for a family business which is a shipyard and we have huge slide hammer to remove 3 inch diameter shaft out of yachts, and still it wont budge. I guess next its off to putting a portable hydraulic press on it.
