Removed the 13mm bolt that holds the d/s to the through shaft.. Slipped the d/s back and can get it off the splines.. But I can’t pull it out of the way. The d/s won’t move enough to pull it away from the through shaft..

Is the rubber coupling keeping the d/s from moving back far enough? Or is there something im missing? I know you don’t have to pull the front diff so Id prefer not too. When I pull the yoke off the splines and try to flip it up to clear the splines.. The edge of the yoke catches the part of through shaft.
