doh!!! need help asap, pinion stuck
 
hey guys. i beleive my front rearend bearing gave last night. all tore down,, cant seem to get the pinion/ yoke apart and out. after prying/smacking still no luck. any tips on getting the yoke off?? hopefully i get the yoke off and the pinion will come out. thanx in advance

Try a 2 jaw puller to get the pinion yoke off.

tried my supercharger pulley puller,, fit around the yoke pretty nice. didnt budge it. back to the bmh. still no movement. im lost and about to the boiling point

Try a big brass hammer and pound the hell out of it.

ok guys,, after 4 hrs of literally beatin the shit out of the pinion nut/pinion no luck. got a big honkin 2 jaw puller, was pushin the damn wrench with my feet as my brother held the puller. finally gave way after about 30 minutes . puller popped,, went flying,gashed my shin, but woohoo the damn pinion is out. the new bearing froze,heated up and welded itself to the back of the yok and the pinion shaft. im havin no luck with this darn rearend. i have my buddies uncle(rearend man) comin to check everything over and hopefully a pizza and case of beer he will install it and set my torque arm(probably my problem from the get go). thanks for the help guys
