Well, I took the diff with the attached/stuck 1/2 axle to a local independent shop this morning. They seemed to think I had been doing something wrong, as there is no good reason that axle shouldn't come out! Oh well, if they can get it out, good for them.

So, the plan is to let them try various "machine shop" methods to get it out. Hopefully, the differential won't be totaled in the process. If the diff is still good (I wonder how I will tell), I will get remans from CVJ and try to plug them in.

I'll keep updating as things go along.
