Default plz plz help how do i get the front diff off and the pole through the sump?

Ive undone all the bolts on the front diff, i have the front drive shafts out, ive removed the speedo drive and 2 circlips, do i need to remove the bearing circlip on the nearside behind the speedo drive? Will that free the shaft? Does the shaft have to come out the sump before the diff will fall?

cheers

yep take the big circlip out and pull the shaft through, if you dont remove the shaft IIRC you have to drop the x member and pull it forward

i have now taken the massive circlip out but i cant pull the shaft out... does the bearing have to come out aswell? does the shaft have to come out the passenger side?

the shaft does move back and forth but just wont come out...

cheers

its been years since i did one, i might have used a puller or a slide hammer to pull the shaft out as the bearing is a snug fit....
