hey, i had a leak a few day ago from the rear diff so i decided to redo the gasket seal on it, i took the propshaft out and then unscrewd the bolts on the diff. all bolts are off but i cant seem to pull the diff off, theres a little play but its as if its stuck on some thing. i tried rocking it back and forth but no luck. do i just need a bit more force on it? :S

Is this a**** take???
The drive shafts from axle one short one and one longen, the 5 bolts with 17mm or 13mm heads. Both drivemembers and their shafts. only need to pull them out about 6 inches to clear the diff. Jai

No need to jack anything up just undo the drive member retaining bolts as in G-mans pic and break the seal, and pull the drive member and shaft out about 6 inches. do this both sides then remove the diff
