Cut/drill bolt head off then use socket twist extractor to remove wot is left if you haven't got that bit o kit then I can always get it posted to you if you promise to post it back hope that helps
Thanks Blaser - really appreciate it. But they're out now!

why dint ya cut the bolt head off ?
?I did! Wouldn't budgewhy dint ya cut the bolt head off
Took a lot of cutting and hammering to get that last bolt free! It was just super tight in the half shaft bolt hole - as i say, the (remainder of) bolt came out by hand one the shaft was out.

Easy enough to check if it is the diff.
Did you try spinning the wheels when they were jacked up?
Cheers

haha you're right it does - i didn't literally cut them to pieces! But they're in no good state to reuse, so i'll need to get some more. One of them had slight notching on the splines.
Yes, the wheels did spin whilst it was jacked up

Did the opposite side turn at the same time? and did you try turning the prop?
Ahh that makes sense now.
I only had one side jacked up!
Tomorrow I'll see if the rear prop spins when it's in gear - if not then i assume transfer box, if it does then diff?

with one wheel is on the ground and the gearbox in gear (handbrake off), try turning the wheel in the air.
if the wheel turns, but the prop doesnt then its diff.
if the wheel and prop turns its tf box

I just thought of this exact idea - but now there are no half shafts in the axles

slide them back in, and fix with a couple of loose bolts.I just thought of this exact idea - but now there are no half shafts in the axles
Bit dark so i chose the easy option.
I forgot I have a phone with a CAMERA.
Started car, in gear, out of diff lock, handbrake off and the rear prop spun like a goodun - diff it is then!
Thanks for your help, all

Sorry just saw this! Had some major family issues past few days. I have got a spare rear diff if you need it back on the road asap?
