Joe, I'm a bit nervous about pulling the right rear axle. I read the BBB and think understand it. Tap the right shaft out until the self-aligning bearing is fully exposed, then pull gently on the axle while turning it for one full turn, then while still holding the tension, give the axle a hard tug, it should pop out. When you've pulled right axles before, is that how it went? I nervous because the BBB specifically warns that the diff can be ruined if the axle is not removed correctly (pulled with too much force and so screw up the retaining clip, making it impossible to ever get the axle out).
Thanks,
Wil
