front diff flange problem
just wondering if anyone can help me
basically my front prop is knackered and have got a recon one ready to go, but 3 of the threads are kanckered in the diff flange and i carnt get the sodding thing off
so how do i go about it, i dont really want to take the diff off due to not having anything to support the engine and and disconnecting everything again lol
my impact gun took my spare one off the diff no problem, but the one on teh car i carnt get just the gunand socket on due to having exhaust and other prop in the way, dont want to take the exhaust off as thats a pain aswell but can move it out the way
i carnt get the car any higher as my jack wont allow so carnt even get a crack bar on it
so i was wondering if its possible to bolt and nut the prop on, by drilling out he threads and bolting and nutting up
can this be done or will it cause problems
or if anyone is strong enough and locally fancy trying to un crack it and ill push on the brakes as i dont have the strength to do it
any ideas please as i need to get this sort asap

get a bar of metal
drill a hole in it to put a bolt through the flange
drill another hole to put through one of the other holesuse this to lock the flange in place
put the breaker bar on
push the car forward
it will crack the nut

true, but i carnt afford any more tools at the minute
was hoping my impact gun would take it off like it did with the spare but hasnt touch it
so im going to drill the threads out and nut and bolt it with high tensile bolts fo now
then when the diff goes ill change it then lol, shouldnt be long for that or a gearbox
