Hey guys and gals -

I'm tearing down a 5 speed rear end and need some advice on how to remove all the pinion gears from the diff/

Brake hubs are removed, oil is drained, cover plate is off, now the fun part......

are the axle shafts pressed into place -

how on earth do I pull them out so that I can release the pinion gears ?

I'm thinking I should just wack the wheel stud end of the axle downwards to pull the shafts down and away from the diff gears ? But the inside brake drum is still in place and kind of in the way preventing a good straight hit ?

Is there a special slide hammer or tool I should be using to pull these axle drive shafts out or am I missing some sort of bolt /fastener which holds these guys in place ?

any good ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers all
James
