We just beat the shit out of mine, didnt fuck the seals.
Ok just want to know the best way of removing axles from an S series diff with out fucking the seals... I dont have the SST that it says in the manual....
Ive tried pulling them and Im no girly man... lol... but that didnt do shit...
Tried hitting from behind with a hammer and that didnt do shit.... although I could use more force but as I said I dont wana fuck anything ......
So how the fuck do I take them out so I can fit this welded center in I have sitting here...
any helpful help will be most appreciated...
(oh and the diff isnt on the car...)
Cheers

We just beat the shit out of mine, didnt fuck the seals.
lol...... I think I will adopt this tactic then.. seems like the only way to go..
first diff I did I used the inverted drum theory, took me ages, thought I was gonna pull the car off the stands, but it worked and didn't fuck the seals.
second diff I used a home made slide hammer, took two hits of the slide hammer and it was out, and they weren't freshly removed axles either. not too sure about the seals, but I can't see why it would of damaged them
slide hammers are awesome
and you might need to brace it somehow, I think its really the impact that you need, like pulling really hard aint gonna do a whole lot
or chuck an old wheel on, bolt it up and give it a whack with a rubber mallet (or mini sledge if you dont care about the wheel)
I use an old steel wheel and then put some old dunger wheel nuts on fairly loosely then pull out straight, so in effect a basic slide hammer. Never taken more than 3 or 4 goes to get it out undamaged.
^^yeah same as above ..works a treat .
hammer and a wheel brace did the job... belted tha kint out in no time...
piece of piss actually...
done..
I used the brake drum as slide hammer, put it on backwards, put the wheel nuts on backward so it hit the flat side rather than the tapered, only a turn or 2 so you can slide the drum back and forth along the hub studs.
