You're supposed to grind that block down to fit with 4.10s as it's normally too big perhaps the po didn't grind quite enough. Maybe try and carefully but it with a file to knock it down

I tapped mine in with a hammer it was fine. had to take it back out and i just rotated the carrier so i could get to the back side and tapped it till it went passed the teeth then spun it back around and pulled it the rest of the way out with a pry bar

I did this swap in my 96 Firebird, with the stock carrier, you can't use 4.10s unless you start grinding and losing your strength. Go buy a s10 carrier from a junk yard. With some shimming, it will slide right in. My 4.10 swap was a success only from the s10 carrier. Not to mention it's thicker and stronger.
