Rearend question

[Blue68Coupe]

OK, so I tried to listen to all of you and I went out and found a race shop that would install the gears and allow me to watch them do it. To save money and to do some learning, I was going to remove the carrage myself and bring it into the shop. HEre's the catch...... 4 hours of banging, 2 broken screwdrivers and a broken chisel latter the carrage assy hasn't budged. Yes I have all of the bolts off and the axles out. I followed the Ford manual up until it said to just wiggle it loose. Boy I wish it was that easy.

Any ideas or tricks on how to remove the gear assy shor of a jack hammer?

Ummm...?
Disconnect your brake lines and suspension, remove the rear axle, and bring whole axle to shop.

I've only installed a couple of lockers, but the guy that worked on them with me has done a set of gears and says that they have to be set up in the axle housing. He said it has to do with the dial indicator mounting points. He also said something about endplay? I believe he was saying that you do your final setup and checks with the axles installed, too.

Talk to the race shop, make sure they didn't mean for you to bring the axle down there.
