Difficulty removing the differential
I went like this...
"Hey Dad, What happens when you push the brake and the gas at the same time? Clank, Clank, Clank went the differential.
The problem now is that the bolt that releases the pin in the differential broke off. If I can't get the pin out I can't get the 'C' clip off the axels.
I know I saw a message on this but couldn't find it. Anybody???

There is a tool that you can use too get that out, I believe it threads into the hole to allow you to drill it straight, so you can get it with an easy out. I had the same problem with my wife's Capri, the bolt broke on the 7.5" rear, I ended up taking it in, cost me about $30 to have a shop remove the broken bolt, insert a new one, then I took it back home so I could replace the axle shafts myself.
