Tips on removing rear axles from Diff?
I a bit embarrassed at such a Newb type question, as I have taken apart literally dozens of rear ends from both FCs and FDs, and know that sometimes they are just tight and you need to fight with them. But.. on this one Im doing now I just cant get the stubshaft out from the pumpkin. I have long prybars I have been pulling until it hurts, and I even called a friend to help try and get one on each side, and both of us couldnt get it to budge. Any tips or something Im overlooking? Any help is greatly appreciated, as for now I give up.

Yep, I fully understand how it goes together. Like I had mentioned, I have owned many FCs and done work an alot more, I also have a write-up in the 2nd gen archive about how to swap a miata torsen into a FC diff, as well as torn apart a few FDs, so I am no stranger as how these go together. Its just I really cant get this sucker out.

But I'm guessing if that were possible you would have tried it by now.
