Only luck I've ever had getting it apart has been to sacrifice the differential (e.g. red wrench! .....acetalyne torch). Think of it this way though.....you get that brand new Auburn Pro and the wife can't really argue about it.
The red wrench worked like a charm

Now its time to install my new 31 spline stuff
