right...
i attempted to rip apart the rear end... after 3 1.2 hrs.. i failed
i got a nasty gash in my hand for the trouble too.
i mananaged to remove the brakes, disk, and rear axel thingy no problem, all came off with a 14mm spanner and some wd40.
even removing the single 27mm locking bolt on the back was easy, although, i was expecting 30mm (Norby  ), but no matter.
that shaft is a bitch to remove. we tried a few different methods, all fails.
-Puller/Pusher, no go, bitch kept slipping off
-Hammer & Wood. no go, not enough room to swing under a car
-Attaching brake disk, and jaming bolts hiding it to try and pull the unit out. no go, just started to bend the brake mountings.
We that, we dicided to give up. After consulting with a freind, we dicovered he had a hydrolic pusher, with extenders.
Perfect!!!
Ill drop the diff, and push both the bastards out using it.
Its rated to 10 tonne, so it should do.
Damn this shit is triky

Just use a large, spike and a really heavy hammer. There should be enough room with the diff in place to hammer it out. I've done it this way before and so have others. It works alaways seem to work.
