Hey everyone, me again. I'm in the rear diff of my limited to replace bearings and a bad ring gear. The new ring gear comes with its own pinion and shaft, so I'll have to set the depth and all that biz. The trouble I'm having now is getting the old pinion shaft out. I've got everything else out of the housing and reassembled the diff with new ring gear and tone ring, and my bearings are ready to go. I don't see anything like a locking bolt for it, and everything I've seen online indicates a couple taps on the flange nut is enough to kick it loose, but no joy. Any tricks to this?
