The passenger side came off, no problem, but the driver side is being difficult. I followed Bentley and tried prying it off using a leveraged prybar, but it seems to be hanging up on the circlip. It only moved about 1/4" or so. Seems to be tighter on the splines than the passenger side as well. Any one have a successful method for removing output flanges that are stuck? Appreciate the help.
