[QUOTE="Brian Armour, post: 1012412, member: 71781"] There really isn't room there for a drill, or a 90* head with the bracket for the bearings right next to it. I got some advice from my father in law who was a Ford mechanic for years that they would just bash them out, snapping the lock bolt and then take the bits left out. I gave it a try, but without a lift there really isn't room to get a good swing under it. hours of swinging gave me a sore shoulder and a 1/16" - 1/8" of movement. I'm looking at ordering one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Differential-Pinion-Shaft-Lock-Extractor/dp/B0031Q4D5I. I've read good reviews on them on different sites. [/QUOTE]
