i keep reading that the shafts should come out with a slight tap. but then when i go to the mechanics, they all say you have to take the diff apart to even touch the outputshafts?

i bought an s13 vlsd, and i got one of the shafts out with out any problems, but the other side isn't coming out... what can i do?

what i have done so far: empty fluid, open back case, clean interior and exterior, close and seal case, remove 1 output shaft...

that is all i have done... i need help taking the last one out...

on soome cars you need to disassemble the diff, not ours. Stick a prybar in there (between case & flange, not inside diff) and force the thing out. Might want to have some new seals handy.

I used a slide hammer. It took about 15 minutes of continuous effort, but it eventually came out.

Piece of wood on the flange and a big hammer. Comes out easy every time.

Rubber mallet and some force and pops right out

Two brake disc rotors works like a charm, lay one inclined againt the inner side of output shaft and the diff body then wack the top of it with the other rotors and it'll come off easy.

big fucken prybar.... just keep prying... once the litle ring passes thru it should slide out easily
