Before I scrap a Loyd axle I thought I'd remove the pinion as the diff was in mint condition and worth putting on the shelf. The manual simply says pull the bearing housing with pinion inside, out of the axle, however there are no tappings for jacking bolts and no locations for a puller. You can see in the photo below that the flange of the bearing housing sits flush with the diff housing. I managed to get a drift onto the ID of it and it moved outwards a thou or two, so I can tell it will move, but there must be an easier way. Much better to ask than invent the wheel.
