Can't get Diff out of Housing
I can't get the front differential/carrier out of the housing on the front axle...'02 8.8. Axles are out clear, caps are off, everything is done, but the diff/carrier will not slide out. I know that sucker is sitting in a bearing race so it's pretty much gotta come straight out, so is there any tricks or tips to getting that thing to slide on out of there??

If I remember correctly when I did my d44 I put a wrench on a ring gear bolt. I then rotated the pinion (with some force) which pressed the wrench against the case pulling the carrier out. It was either on a ring gear bolt or right through the carrier. If that doesn't work whip up a quick case spreader and it should fall out. The carrier should drop right back in though. Good luck.
