How do you remove the stub shafts?

THe FSM just says "remove output shafts" WTF?!? how do they come out? Do I beat them out with a BFH, or is there a circlip holding them in?

I'm trying to get the diff apart but it doesn't want to let go of course.

it was kind of fun actually.

I'm working on my turbo'd miata. I've done a clutch already sat/sun, today/tomorrow I'm swapping in a clutch pack LSD from an 87 RX7 I bought at the u-pull-it yard for 40 bucks.
I'm so sick of working on this thing I just don't know what to do lol.

haha, hang in there. A DIY mechanic is always rewarded by the satisfaction of a job completed on his own!

I HAVE to do them at the same time, with sticky tires and a grabby clutch the stock viscous LSD will go bye bye in a matter of days with the HP I'm running :o

It'll be nice when it's done, I hear those clutch type LSD's can handle 350+ HP all day long without a single complaint, so we'll see. It's the last mechanical upgrade to do to the car besides turn the boost up and tune out the emanage as high as I can go

The LSD sure looks to be in good shape and the fluid was new, so here's to hoping!
