Need help removing GSL-se Differential!!!

Okay so I have always worked on my own cars.
So I am somewhat mechanically inclined.
But I am trying to remove the Differential from my GSL-se.
The rear end is still in the car.
I removed the axles and the 10mm bolts from aroung the punkin and I can't get it out.
I tryed a hammer....a prybar...
It won't budge.....
does anyone have some tips on how to get this out?????
I have never removed a punkin from a rear end while it was still in the car...
HELP!!!!!!
I need to finish this like by saturday!!

OH ***-on. Stop whinning and pick up the GSL-SE pumpkin I promised you. Its collecting dust and Im tired of looking at it along with my other junks. BTW, you need muscles and brain to remove the pumpkin.

keep the top two three bolts in place, get a deadblow and smack the pinion flange as hard as you can. if it's been out before it's probably been siliconed in place so they can stick in there pretty good.

There is one bolt that is longer than the rest, Did you get that out? If so just pry on it, it will come out.

yea check for missed bolts, they usually just fall out after the axles have been removed.

Yeah I checked for any missed bolts several times already.
I have been working on this for a few days already.
I am usually really thorough.....I rearely miss bolts and fasteners.
I think its just stuck.
