Help! How do I finish removing the diff cover??

I'm not sure if its called a differential cover or a pinion cover or what, but it only comes out like a centimeter then catches on something but can rock back and forth..

I need to replace the seal because its leaking. Trying to finish tonight!

 

Did you pull the axle shafts out a bit?

That should help

 

Thanks, but no way to do it without removing the axle shafts?

 

Nvm, I pulled them and got it out, so now I see why that's impossible. I didn't expect the entire diff to be there

 

Almost like a "baby" 9"Ford, axle pulling is a must. You learned something, that's always a plus!
