Need suggestions for removing axles from differential...
 

I'm trying to remove the differential and am having a difficult time removing the axles.
The FSM says to pry them loose but wasnt having any luck with that. Any suggestions?

Yeah a big ass pinch bar on the meaty side of the axles. I did it about a month ago when I changed my diff and bushings.

Get a good pry point between the Diff. and axle inlet and one push will pop the retainr loose inside and it will slid out

If these are held in with a circlip like most axles, it can help to wiggle/pull on it to center the circlip (hidden inside the diff) before giving it the big pry. The same goes for reassembly - before pushing it in, be sure the circlip is well centered.

Thanks for finding that thread. All done with that job now.
