desparately need some help here - removed the diff from the van - eeeaaassssyyyyyy. Do you reckon i can get those bloddy axles out - what am i doing wrong. I have:
Undone the bolts holding the brake plate onto the diff housing.
Tried getting it to move with a slide hammer
Found what looks to be some sort of circlip in the diff under the bearing - liftted it and still nothing
Just broke my sledge hammer trying
i give up!! does anyone have suggestions? would be appreciated.

Woo Hoo - problem solved - took it Jeff at Jack Macnamara's Diff centre and jobs done!!! in about 2 bloody minutes i might add - man... the right tools make it look soooo easy.

what did he use?
i can't get my axle out to do a wheel bearing, so before i make a puller i'd like to know what works
did it look like this?

Hi I had t use the oxy set and a slide hammer. Price for new bearing, between $200----$250.
Cheers Brian

i used the oxy once but i wont do that again.. i dont think its good for the housing.. i just use an old rim bolted onto the axel. smak it real hard with a sledge hammer. most likely destroy the rim but youll get any axel out in my experience.. ive pulled out probably about 10 by now..

The tool that Worzel is looking at brought my axles out so quick and the upside, the bearings were removed without any damage at all - obviously a lot to do with the force of the slide being dead centre - as opposed to the way i was trying to do it. Highly recommend it!!
