I cannot figure out how to get the front axle off of the diff. I have a '98 sportsman. It looks like there is a rolled up metal piece that secures tothe diff male shaft. Everything I'm reading says yank out with the male part. Is this correct? Doesn't seem right though. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks, Wes

 

It's a roll pin 5/16" or 1/4" punch will remove...

 

the cv's are the ones that jusat yank out, not the univesal joint which like he said is a roll pin.
