Ok, I'm still in the same position I was 2 days ago. The retaining bolt for the cross-shaft broke in half while trying to extract it. However, I am able to turn the carrier and watch the cross-shaft spin in place. This leads me to believe that the retaining bolt is no longer affecting it. I am unable to get the half-shaft retaining bolt out, but according to Crash, this should not matter. If I tap on the cross-shaft I'm able to get slight movement in it back and forth, but no more than 1/32"(I think I exaggerated in the first post). I've tried wiggling the U-shaped piece, following Crash's tip that it might be binding up, and this has netted me absolutely nothing. I've tried gently tapping the cross-shaft, I've tried pounding the living sh!t out of it, nothing makes a damn difference. If it were possible to cut the axle shafts off and fix the problem that way, I would do it, I'm at that point. However, since it's a damn C-clip axle, I'd still have the little nubs to contend with inside the carrier. What the heck am I missing? Something stupid and obvious? Thanks!

Wannabe, I haven't forgotten that you need this by the 23rd and I will make sure it gets there by then. Scout's honor :lecture:
