Hey guys, have my Ranger torn down to just the frame and I am restoring components now. Decided to pull the axleshafts and check the seals and bearings, but have to remove the cross pin. Took out the bolt and find that I can drive it 1/8" at most before it doesn't move further. Easily slips back in. The diff gears easily rotate on the shaft so I don't think the gears are keeping it retained. The only thing I can think of is that there is a slight groove on the shaft and this is hanging up on the inside of the hole. I've read it should just slide out. Any ideas?? I stopped pounding when I thought I would damage something.
