They still can stick after that...

Coming at it from the side facing forward you should be able to find a hole that doesn't go compleatly through (I.E on a hole on the case side), if not just use one of the bolt holes.

Stick a screw driver/punch/chisle through the case side so it catchs on the cover, tap with hammer.

and for the lover of god post in the ****ing 240 forum.

I think the confusion is, the OP wanted to know how to gety it off with the diff in the car (which ain't happening).

Matt, quit begging, no one's gonna suck you. Ever.

Not begging... dont have to. I'm still young and the girls are plenty

okkk so the man has spoken.... unbolt the crossmember on the driveshaft, unbolt the driveshaft from the differential. It makes life easier to take off the swaybar if you want to because it gets in the way of lowering the differential a bit. Once that is all done, unbolt the axles and push them up and out of the way. Then put a small floorjack or jackstand under the differential and proceed to unbolt the four bolts in back holding the differential to the frame. Everything should be free now, lower the jackstand or whatever you used and you're done.

If you're swapping in a VLSD from a j30 or z32 I can help out with that, I did the z32 + j30 axles swap. Sorry about the previous statement... but please do ask more informative questions and you will get better answers.
