Here is a different angle to show the axles are not removed or the carrier. No press required. This differential has been in a 1972 c10 for several years, I pulled it out to install it into my 1972 Blazer 4x4 to 2wd conversion project. back to the real reason for posting this, once the front pinion bearing is removed (slip/slide/whatever words you want to use) you can inspect the bearing and the race for any wear/pitting/etc to see if its bad....if bearing is bad, than I would consider pulling the entire differential a part to check all parts for wear....

but what really is going to happen here is a total replacement of the differential housing... replace the existing differential with some USED BS.....300 bucks....oh yea thats cheap....

just think if only the front pinion bearing is bad....all that work R&Ring the complete differential for what a 20 dollar bearing and race...and I thought this was a "cheap way" forum....
