Started on my 3:73 install/diff rebuild/axle rebuild tonight but hit a snag: the pinion would not come out. It moved about .125" then stopped. As far I know the only things that could hold it up would be the front pinion bearing and/or the crush sleeve. Is there a special puller available for this? Tomorrow night I plan to put a pry bar between the pinion gear and the case while hitting the pinion shaft with a hammer. I don't think pulling the pinion should be this difficult.
