Re: 12 bolt differential pinion shaft removal

Extremely worn differentials often have the shaft cut into by the spider gears. These require pretty significant hit to move. I use a drive and try and drive it as far as I can out the other side of the case and have the differential where it will still rotate. Then when it’s facing you grab it with a big pair of vise grips and wiggle if it doesn’t come out.
