Swampy442 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Both shafts are stuck firmly on the diff output flanges, is it just a case of more brute force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Undo all bolts and mine just fall off, try giving it a wack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker705 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) big rubber mallet works fine and try and not damage the rubber boot Swampy. just hit it on alternating sides while giving it a little pull from the diff. I'm sure a man of your precision will do a splendid job with an even bigger metal hammer though !
