10 bolt?

[kbenz]

got a leaking wheel seal. pulled differential cover. carrier pin bolt came out with no issue. carrier pin is giving me lots of trouble. won't budge one way and I can get about 1/2" the other way (with a lot of persuasion). any tricks for this?

From the factory it's a round pin in a round hole and slip-fit (not pressed).

The carrier holes have probably egged a tiny bit, or the spiders wore the shaft, and the shaft has a developed a ridge. IMHO, requires more persuasion.

Pin will rotate when the spider gears are turned. Guess I’ll use a bigger hammer
