Well I finally got the bolts out that attach the rear drive shaft to the axle flange. Thank for the suggestions: I tried map gas but it did not work so I got a little torch with oxygen and that worked.
When I was heating up the bolts I detected a popping noise. Not sure what this was. I was thinking that some oil/grease was flashing off. Kind of worried about damaging the axle seal.
I now have to take the bolts off the transfer case and worry I may damage a seal on the transfer case if I heat it up. Any thoughts?
