It gave up when I split the case and worked the center pin out and gave it hell from the other side. This is the method that should be in the TSB, but I don't think many people know about it. I have only read it one time from tons of research. Fortunately, the shaft was just fine, the c clip just grenaded but I got a new one of those for a dollar fifty. When I put it back together I would like to try to do a write up with pictures on the process of loosening the bolt and working the center pin to the deepest corner to get this done. It worked amazingly well once we figured out the process of loosening the bolt, dropping the pin, then pushing and threading the bolt back in its hole so it will allow the carrier to spin again, then positioning the carrier so the pin can drop down into the deepest corner. It will not come out all of the way but it will give an open view of just over half of the back side of the stub shaft. Then we took a good size solid punch and beat it out with the five pound sledge. I think you misunderstood what I meant by splitting it and all. The gears never came out until I beat the short stub shaft out. I just removed the right side case and long stub shaft and when I dropped that pin out of the way you can actually get to it through the hole in the carrier assembly itself.
