Removing halfshaft axles from Diff
Allright, I have to replace the oil seals on each side of the diff for the output shafts, they are starting to leak a bit. I got the halfshafts removed with no prob, but I cant seem to get the axles removed from the diff. According to the FSM and haynes, they say you should be able to pry them out with a pry bar. They also say to be careful not to break the aluminum casing. How hard do I have to pry, or am i doing something wrong? They move in and out by about a 1/4 of an inch or so freely, but thats it. Help or some tips would be appreciated. This is a non turbo diff by the way. Thanks in advance.
