Before I starting taking mine apart, I was thinking the SAME thing with the play. Once I got the axel out I realized there isn't the play you think there is. I sprayed Kroil oil in the splines for 2 days and made a slide hammer and whammo it came out. IMO Kroil oil is the best out there. I work at a power plant and we buy ALOT of this stuff. Are you replacing your axel? If so where did you find one? Found em on eBay but always lookin for a deal.

I was just replacing the inner u joints and I did get those on ebay, $50 for both u joints. You said you put Kroll on the splines. Does the axle slide off the spline coming out of the differential or does the spline slide out of the differential? I assumed the spline slid out of the differential but since you said you put Kroll on the splines I am now guessing the spline stays in the differential and the U joint slides off it?

Yep..For me I just kept spraying some in the am then at night and then the same thing the next day. I also tried to tip the machine a little to help it soak into the spline area and the housing.

Exactly....any good penetrant oil will "creep" it's way into things and will "loosen" rust. I could go on my soapbox about " lubes" and penetrants but I won't. WD40 IMO is nothing more than a tool cleaner!!

I pulled & pounded on mine until I thought it would never come out . I put the end of a pry bar (shaped like a wedge) between the lip on the shaft & the housing & tapped the bar in a couple of times & it popped out like nothing. I spent half a day pulling on the darn thing & it popped out with just a couple taps of the pry bar.
