Can anyone answer to me why in the hell the diff is so hard to pull out of my FC?

Alrighty so here is the dealio...
Im trying to take out my differential from my FC to put my 2 way in.
Im just taking one pumpkin out and putting another pumpkin in....simple right?

WRONG!

I swear i have every damn bolt off, and the sob will not come out.
its like it has something against leaving its home.

and yes i do know how to take it out, ive even looked it up....twice!


Im just about ready to take a torch and a hammer to it.


but seriously, anyone have any advice for me?

 

You might find it easier to just drop the entire subframe next time.

Anyways, check this out and some of the other links posted in it...

it also helps to drop the exhaust too. its a bitch to get bak in too

 

Drop the entire subframe as ONE PEICE. If you dont want to bleed your brakes again, get some string to hang your calipers up.

It's NOT difficult. OH, wait, yes it is. But you know what i mean. 2 bolts and 2 brackets up front, sublink, 2 diff bolts, driveshaft bolts, catback and it's out. Then all you have to do is losen the two bolts on the front diff mount to remove the diff from the subframe.

It's GRAVY aside from it being akward and heavy.

 

have you tried welding it?

 

....why would i weld it if i already have a 2 way to put in?

 

it helps when you want to get them out of the car.

 

....i dont get it?

help me understand.

...so welding it would help it come out?
how?

 

It's kind of hard to explain but it's definitely worth doing.
