I purchased some Selectro Lock-Outs for the front axle. I put my truck up, pulled the 6 bolts/nuts on the front hubs and still can't get into them. Can't pry it open or knock it open.


I gota rear locker so Im tring to install it. I pulled the axle shafts out of each side. (Those cone shaped things on the hub studs are terrible) I opened the rear cover, unbolted/removed the bearing retainers, Unbolted the rear driveshaft and pulled the yoke.

I cant get the carrier out, I slam the pinion with a dead blow and its gets a little looser but I can't pull it out. Is there a special puller to pull this out? I think it just behing held in there with a press fit on the bearings.

Any help would be great?
I already gota 4 lb dead blow so the bigger hammer approach has been addressed. Id take a picture to clarify but it ended up in the lake last week.

Thanks,
Scott
