OK, I did have the right bolt. (Just thought I was on the wrong side of the trans)

This time I put the rear on ramps and front on stands. Seemed to give me an extra inch, or maybe I just got really pissed and yanked harder, but the pug cam loose and . . . ..

I am glad it did.
I don't know how much was in there, but the back of the pug was not very wet.
I think I put in about 1/2 a liter before it started coming out and running down my sleeve.

So now the rear sea is free to drip all it wants, till I get it replaced. AT least the diff won't run dry.

Is this possible? Central differential replacement

Is it possible to separate and replace the Central differential part of the gearbox? Mine got broken in an offroad trip, whatever is in there got shattered, tyranny still shifts like new but hardly drives the propeller shaft to the rear differential/axles...
I this possible?
