If you're having snags I may be able to pop up in the afternoon if work is quiet tomorrow ...

Thanks for the offer Spooky :)
The plan is to remove stuff tomorrow morning, but I have a meeting at 1pm which takes out at least 12 - 2:30pm.
If I get as stuck as a stuck thing, I'll shout :wink: :lol:
gords:
Well, it's not the half shafts - they came out in one piece with perfect splines at the required end :wink:
Got to the point where I've undone the diff nuts (not taken them off completely yet), but the diff seems pretty well stuck in place! What's the best way to persuade it to come off?
Also, how heavy are these things - do I need a helper?
Thrasher:
It is sealed on with hylomar (you will need some to put it back on). It is HEAVY, so a helper is advised.
muddyweb:
Give it a good wiggle :-)
You might even need to give it a thump with a big rubber mallet to get it loose, then it is a case of wiggling it out of the casing... it will probably get stuck / snagged on the way out.
If you are big, butch and strong you can manage them on your own... but it is a big lump, so a trolley jack and/or another pair of hands might help.
Wanderer:
If you leave a couple of nuts on either top or bottom then that will stop the diff from falling on you.
As Neil said it is well sealed. EP90 will find it's way out of even the tiniest pinhole. The brake pipe mount is at the top. You might want to make sure it isn't stuck to the diff housing as you remove it.
Sounds like the carrier or pins. As you weren't off road it might be the pins. If you look at my pictures I managed to shatter the carrier and shoot the pins out of the back cover. The diff guard stopped Paul from getting one through his wndscreen.
