trouble getting rear diff off

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

you have taken out the shafts havent you? Jai

*snigger*

what about the axle shafts held in with a ring of 6 bolts on the ends od the axle (centre of the axle)

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

Do you think he is outside scratching his head as we type Gman? Jai

haha sumed me up in one lol,
i sees you got have it jacked up yes?

Thats the funniest god damn thing thats happened today! Lol,

Guess I better get offt and get changed forDerbyshire

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

Make sure the vehicle is chocked and cannot move anywhere

no need to jack up a landy to remove the diff, that was a spare axle i was teaching me little bro with, if you want jacked up.........
