axle stuck to transmission

[hareless at gmail.com (Sean Whalen)]

Hey Chris, this has happened to me a couple of times before and I ended up
just removing the axle nut and strut bolts.  With the strut detached there
is plenty of room to get the DL out.  Either way will work fine.  After the
second time it happened to me, I figured I'd try to move the motor over a
tad.  Worked like a charm.  Hope your's is as easy of a solution.

Good night and good luck.
