Gary,

I was able to remove both flanges by putting them in a large vice and the using my breaker bar on a large puller by hitting the breaker bar with a BFH. They both popped off after a few wacks with the hammer. But if that failed, I would have used my impact wrench on full on the puller.

Good luck!

Bob

Everyone,

I want to replace the shaft seals to stop the leaks and am wondering whether
there is there a trick to remove the axle mounting flanges on a TR6 diffy?
I've tried a big puller but they won't budge and applying heat could damage
the bearings, right?

Thanks in advance,

Gary
