gone

 

how far from work are you? I would pull it if its not too far, and run it in 4HI and just be easy on it. not hard to pull it, pretty sure all the bolts are 8mm? A ratcheting wrench will make quick work of them. The hardest part will be getting the flange out of the diff end, get a punch and you will see some small holes in the back of the diff where you can hammer the punch till the flange pops out of the diff.

 

I had the same problem a few years back and just took my rear DS off. I drove around in 4H for a couple of weeks, just be carefull turning corners and take it easy, just like the poster above me mentioned.
I ended up ordering a Tatton DS, they were the cheapest, and have a great reputation.

 

get a punch, a thin one and put in threw the holes in the back of the diff and slam on them with a hammer till the flange pops out. It is the same way, the ds will only attach one way to each end.

 

let me know if you can't get it, I can drop by after work and help you get it out.

 

You can get a new DS for about $400.

 

Hey Greg I hope you wash all that mud off before you go to the dealer just kidding. That really sucks good luck with the dealer

 

yeah I have a dealer less than 5 minutes away, I just pop in and ask "will you fix this" before ordering anything.....

I can't believe they wouldn't replace my steering stabilizer!

 

Take the rear shaft out drive in 4wd high on front shaft. You'll be okay for awhile. Peace.

 

I have an extra driveshaft for the rear.
