Paul,

Sometimes the shims that preload the side bearings are tough to overcome, es=
pecially with little leverage.  Upon install many differentials employ the u=
se of a case spreader in order to set proper preload.  You may want to try t=
o find more leverage and pry out.  With that being said you may need a case s=
preader to set proper bearing preload upon install.  Is it a Dana axle and a=
 large vehicle?
