Me an my buddy are doing his gears today (first time ever) but we cant the pinion off, we took off the pinion bolt, the pinion flange an all the seals but the pinion wont come out... we read on another website to hit it out if its stuck, So we beat the shit out of it an it hasn't budged!! ANY HELP????

Not the actually nut the end of the pinion that the nut bolts on to!! All its doing is taking thread off!

From around 2001 and up they were sealed to the carrier bearing from the factory. It's not fun removing them. [Wink]
