I own a used L39 4wd that has had a fluid leak on the front left gear case since I bought it. I removed the four bolts from the axle flange and started separating axle and gear case by wedging apart with chisels. It has come apart about 1/4" and is very resistant. My question is does anyone know it something is holding it inside the axle housing? The axle spline at the differential should just slide out, right?

Far as I know it should, mine do. Are you sure you have all the bolts out? I'd say it's time for a WSM purchase or download.

Did you remove the tie rod?
