crowbar on both sides? Some of them take alot to get out.

I tried that with a prybar and some random junk of pipe, and bent the pipe, but the carrier stayed. This is the same one I had regear at J&P a few months back, so I'm surprised its in there that solid. I was about to hook a come along to it and try yanking it out, but figured I would first stop and make sure there wasn't something I had missed

i use the term loosely....

You may already have it jammed at an angle. Take a dead blow hammer, or a hammer with a wood block, and beat it back in there. Then try to work it out again. You may have to work it back and forth. The quickest way that normally works for me is to take a heel bar (looks like a pry bar with the end at 90 degrees) and use it at the top of the carrier between the housing and one of the carrier bolts. I then use a pry bar at the bottom of the ring gear and work the carrier out.

I wouldn't do the come along. If it's jammed in there you could make things worse.

is it a 14 bolt? did you loosen the backlash setter thingamabobs? if its a dana your just being too bigga poon.

theres a thread on pirate where someone hooked a tow strap up to the carrier and yanked it out with his truck.

Hmm, this may have been the problem when we tried to pull the one we took to shupe at TCC. I will have to look this up when I get them up on stands to put them back together.

I would use a 4 wheeler

its a dana 70, he just needs to put some more nuts into it. The gears should be tighter since they are new, and will loosen up slighty more after they are broke in if i remember correctly. I have always used a prybar/deadblow/piece of square tube to get them out. However we used ratchet straps to get cj's 44 carrier out, first attached to the garage table-that almost tore down the garage. Then we hooked it to coops jeep and held the brakes, that finallly got it out. Also on chris's dana 44 front i used a carrier spreader it made it easier to get out.

use the comealong... i have done it several times and it works gud

Be sure to cushion the fall when they come out... Maybe with some pillows, but be sure to use the ones your other half uses so your head doesn't smell like gear oil the next morning.
