im in the middle of a diff. swap. i cant get the drive shaft seperated from the old diff. the bentley simply sais "seperate diff from drive shaft" "push driveshaft forward." the driveshaft is solid, it will not budge when trying to push it forward....the nuts connecting the two are all off but the bolts will not budge... i have 3 hours to do this and i am pulling my hair out. thanks

well, i ended up just cutting the drivesahft to get the old one off. (i was pulling it off of a parts car) the drivesahft was rusted...which is why it wouldnt budge. i drained the old diff oil, and filled it with 75w140 mobil 1 synthetic + the diff additive. i regreased the flanges with mobil 1 synthetic grease. turns out the diff is a lsd 4.10, i originally had thought it to be a 3.91. BIG thanks to Regal on his quick and generous help. (pm)
