Took front end apart, now I'm stuck

[mcfragger]

My front diff got full of mud and sand, so I began taking the front end apart to attempt to remove the diff and clean it out.

So far I've done the following;

Remove passenger axle shaft (Driver shaft won't come out, c-clip)

Wheels, and hub assemblies out

Driver side long-bolt is out (See picture 3)

Carrier seal is broke, old oil drained



As of right now I'm left with a carrier that is loose but will not come out, as it's butting up against the radius arm passenger side.

I don't know how to get this carrier out! I'm at my wits end.
Obviously the vehicle is not driveable at the moment.

you will have to remove radius arm if memory serves

Take the weight off the suspension so the beam can droop. Looks like the axle pivot bracket is in your way.
