Archived can't get front differential out!

[Coalsmoke]

I'm replacing my front axle seals and I can't seem to pry the front differential out. I have the inner axle shaft slid out and both side axles removed and I have removed both carrier bearing caps, but I still can't get the differential out. Any help/knoweledge is appreciated as my truck is currently sitting in many pieces.



TIA,

Stephan

You may need a 'spreader'. They are designed to be an interferance fit or a preload.

Never mind I got it out.

Luckily I didn't need a spreader. I was woried for a bit though. Turns out that if you pry off of the ring gear bolts it comes out, but it won't budge if you pry off of the actuall carrier.
