I am trying to remove my differential output shafts. One of them popped out easily but the other one will not budge at all. I have tried soaking it in pb blaster to see if that helps but nothing will break it loose.

Good evening,

Which end is seized? The part into the differential or the end at the hub?

The better lube is Freeze Off. PB does not break down rust.

It is the part that goes into the differential?

The clip is not releasing. There is a tool for removing it that is like a fork with a slide hammer on it. Sometimes those clips do not want to release.

Check at a parts store for the tool.
