Need some diff help!!

[HUMTECH]

Trya prybar with outward pressure on the shaft and hit it straight in towards the diff with a big hammer. If it dont come out you will need to split the case and ry to pop the clip off he end of the shaft.

[HUMTECH]

Hitting it straight back into the diff sometimes will center the retainer and allow it to pop out

How do I split the case? I am new to this but love learning new things when I can. Still kinda confused on the prybar thing where do i put teh pry bar to aplly the upward pressure plus be able to hit the shaft or am I suppose to hit the prybar I swear I am getting stupid by the minute.

[HUMTECH]

Pry between the mount and the axle flange.

ok gotcha! I really think its stuck in there, but I will try again tomorrow. does it need to be unbolted from the diff. before I hit

[HUMTECH]

Nope, it has a retaining ring that seats in a groove on the end. If that ring expands makes it very difficult to get out

Well i tried again today I think I am going to break something, I really need to see a breakdown instruction or something that hitting the shaft with a 8lbs hammer is kinda scaring me cause I really think I am going to break something. I am probably going to get a slide hammer so it even, I have heard you have to buy new rings, man this doesn't make since I would think there would be a inspection hole to where we can gain acesss to the pin in the spider or retaining clip.

At the end of the shaft there is a spring that prevents the shaft from sliding out, you need to apply outward pressure on the shaft to get the spring inside the diff to align and then give it a hit with a 2.5er. Some springs don't come out in one piece there for hawing a new set handy is nice, my came right out, looks like yours are a little more stubborn that's all

This is a different application but the end of the spline looks same #1.
