Default HELP. GMADE GOM rear axle shaft stuck in diff locker.

Hello!

First post and I have a problem.

Was planning to do the 4WS mod on my GOM, so got ready all the parts and was ready to install.

I was trying to remove the rear axles to put in the CVAs, but the left long shaft wouldn't budge. I had also removed the 2 set screws that connect the trailing arms to the axle as those hold the shaft in when screwed in. I thought it was the bearing, so I WD40ed it and then wiggled it around and it was loosening up. So I pulled hard and it still would not budge.

I then opened up the diff cover to check, and then smothered the opening where the shaft fits into the diff with WD40, hoping it might loosen up. I even slid a steel allen key through the axle hub pin opening for leverage, put it on its side and one foot on the housing and pulled upwards. Bent the steel allen key instead.

I am not sure what is happening, as I checked the manual and it should be an easy slide in and out, no screws holding it in.

Have the shaft just welded itself to the diff locker? Anyone know what I can do short of getting a new whole axle and gearset?

Thanks in advance.
