    To get the bearing out. Because it's infront of the bearing on axle

    Sorry, so if you're taking the bearings off and the axles out, you can just drain the oil out of the axle tube when you get one axle out - that's what I was trying to say. Just angle the housing so the oil doesn't come out while you take out the first axle. It sounded like you were on a schedule and the drain bolt issue was causing a delay - that was my idea for avoiding such a delay so you can work on the bolt while the axles are getting done at the machine shop :)

    It's all taken apart. I've got nothing connected to the diff. So the axles are complety out.

    Yeah so once I can got those bearing out I can put it all back together. One I get the drain plug off. Since I drain it through the carrier case for now
