Don't bother trying to remove it the conventional way, just cut it off
with a Sawzall. I removed all the bolts from my rear flange that way
because they were all beat up from a diff mount bolt backing out and
whacking them. You are going to replace all the bolts anyway, right?
Don't try taking out the rear-end with the prop shaft attached. You
will just make an unpleasant job that much more difficult.
