Front Diff Question
I cant get the inner joint out of the side of my front diff.
I have cut through the cv boot (it was split in any case...) and removed the shaft from the inner joint.
If I now remove the diff, will I be able to knock the joint out from inside? Is there a centre 'tube' that runs through the diff that I will be able to put a suitable drift down to give the joint a bash from inside? Or are the pinion gears on cross-shafts that block the way?
I was hoping to fit new diff bearings this weekend. If I can't get the joint out, then I won't bother removing the diff at all. I will just replace the cv boot and re-fit the driveshaft.

To answer my own question, no, you can't knock through the centre tube. The pinion cross-shaft blocks the way. You could possibly get a long, thin screwdriver down the gap, but not anything meaty enough to use as a drift.
