Jeff,
I don't know if this will work, but have you tried slowly turning the flange
and looking for a place that you can insert the bolt. I believe it's on the
spit that you this problem. It's been a while since I pulled the rear
1/2 shafts, but I think I got the bolts out, but there is only one spot that
you can do it from.
