I have progressed past this point. I was packaging up the slide hammer to
return to HF but decided to give it a try again with the two arm puller using
the 2 remaining arms. Several whacks and it popped out.

I have pulled out the gears and washers. Problem is that there is a copper
washer behind the differential gears, very close to the same size as the new
fiber thrust washers.  I see no reference or mention of this piece unless it
is the same, just different material. Should I be using both or just the fiber
one, moss part 267-140?

The rear bearing is a press fit.
I can't visualize it now (it's been a long time) but you can space out the
drive flange with something and use an impact wrench on the axle nut to pull
the axle and bearing.

I am partway into a rear axle thrust washer replacement. I am now at the stage
of trying to pull out one of the half shafts.
