Ok, what the ???
I have disconnected my entire rearend. I removed the four bolts holding the rearend to the axle, but they won't come apart. Any ideas?

Yeah, there's probably a good amount of connective rust there. I assume that you've also removed the four suspension arms and the Watts link?

And yeah, it's a tad bit rusty.

Alright, the good news is, I got the driveshaft off the rearend.
Now, I just need to disconnect the two ebrake things and the frickin' brake line. Here's pics of what I'm talking about:
Here's my faithful helper. Of course, she doesn't know **** about cars, so she's not really helping all that much:

That's a pretty rusty rear end. Sad thing is, mine's worse 
Might not seem like it but that's the tab that's holding the brake hose onto the mount. Pliers and yanking it upwards should do the trick. As for the ebrake cable, I'm not too sure. I have rear disks and you just unhook them from behind the caliper. Check the FSM maybe?

Next up is the ebrake cables. I'm thinking about cutting those, too, because my new rearend has the cables in place.

Just a tip for next time, those tab ... they come off really easy if you take a flat head screw driver, but it to the top side of it (where it curls downward) and bang it with a hammer ... about 3 bangs later it should be off (mine was alot worse) as for the ebrake cable ... there should be 2 cotter pins that would come off and then you'd remove the pin that connects the cables. To remove the pin out, i would recommend using one of those big pliers (the ones that you adjust in like 5 different positions) and plier it out of there ... another good way to take it off twisting the pin to free it loose, then its a matter of twisting it as you pull it out.

I just did this a couple of weeks ago. Here's how I did mine...

(btw, I have the entire disconnect-process documented on that cardomain site.)
