  1. I'm sure you've heard this before, but you ARE the master. Although I was able to think thru a solution for myself, it is my trust in your wisdom and knowledge that made it possible. Just took a couple of taps and I was able to fit the putty knife in between the case and retainer. Much thanks!
  2. Just a thought, would tapping on the rear output shaft help break it loose or will the intermediate gear/shaft bind or be in the way?
  3. Moses, thanks for the prompt response. I have your book (great source of info) as well as FSM/Haynes/etc and feel I am well "informed" on the process ahead of me. However, book knowledge isn't the same as experience. I have tried the putty knife and mallet endlessly to no avail -- sealed tighter than Fort Knox. Can I tap directly on the retainer to attempt to loosen it without bending or damaging anything inside? This is a rebuild so all seals, bearings, etc will be replaced. Is there a reason my particular retainer doesn't have any slots? Aftermarket perhaps? (everything appears to operate freely inside.)
  4. Newbie here. Searched this site (and every other site I could find) on how to remove the input shaft retainer on the dana 300. I went ahead and removed the hex bolts, but everyone says "there are slots for assisting in prying it off," . . . . sorry, but not on mine (1980 shortie. Has part #300-360-1 stamped on it). Any suggestions on how to get it started/break seal without scoring up the retainer or mating face?
