Whats your guys' favorite/best way to pull your front diff out of your truck? Do you guys loosen and jack up the transmission to get a little more clearance? Kinda stumped right now. The flange is hitting the transmission preventing me for rotating the diff out of there

Last time I pulled a front diff out of a Toyota was probably 8 years ago. And it was a tundra. I think I pulled a motor mount and the tranny mount and jacked up the whole motor.

Wiggle it around and it will get free. Remove the mounts from the differentials first.
