Cannot seem to remove the axle from housing. I removed the four bolts, any suggestions?

 

damn no love... well I managed to get them off and im deep into my gear swap now.. Pain in the A$$!

 

Good luck! I did mine. Very proud of myself, but it is a pain. Measure a million times, make sure that crap is perfect. If it's any consolation, I pulled the diff covers on my Ram 2500 and was is hog heaven, why couldn't Chrysler have put that stuff in our diffs!? The carrier bearing shims are adjustable to move the carrier left/right AND set preload without ever pulling the carrier out once installed! That would have made it INFINITELY easier. Man...
