how to Remove the Pinion Gear from Housing

[1952henry]

For my F3 Timken, which I believe is similar to the car differential pinion-wise, I used a 1/2” piece of plate ~5x5”, with a hole for the threaded pinion end, and two holes for all thread. Standard 1/2” hardware store all thread and 4 nuts, one welded to end of all thread above plate, one threaded up against bottom of plate. Plate goes over threaded end, and yoke nut firmly seated against plate. One wrench on welded nut, other turning lower nut, alternating side to side. I’ve removed two assemblies, one didnt require heat, one needed some encouragement with a weed burner. I did have a couple pieces of 1/4’” plate under the ends of the all thread where it engaged the housing to prevent marring. The stubborn pinion slightly bowed the 1/2” plate.

If I am off base in regards to being similar to the Timken, disregard.

Edit, may not have the threaded pinion end with torque tube.
