I removed and rebuilt this differential about 1 and 1/2 years ago no problem,but this time it 's being a bitch.I'm down to the center diff,but it will not budge.I removed the T-case aswell but the input shaft seems to be stuck to,I'm assuming the "X" part inside the diff.I've tried hammering the shaft through but it just wont go and I obviously can't remove the thing with shaft and all due the flared end in the T-case portion.Any Ideas 'cause I seem to be screwed.Thanks

Disassemble the center diff in place and see where that will get you.

I had enough fun today,but yes tomorrow I'm going to try to a sledge hammer if I have to,It's not like I can mess up much more.I assume I'm going to need the input shaft aswell as a new center differential.I love AWD!

Finally got it out! Pulley puller,Impact gun,Big Hammer,pry bar and alot of built up Anger!.Needless to say, But it is a disaster in there,the housing is screwed,but the input shaft seems to be fine.So If anyone knows where I can get a good used Center differential please PM me.Thanks.
