     If your mechanic feels compelled to remove the diff to safety wire,
     there is a way to accomplish the task without removing the carrier
     bearings.A  The trick is to remove the 8 or 10 allen bolts that hold
     the assembly together.A  Then the two halves will come out the
     bottom.
     Those 5mm allen heads can be a real bear to get out.A  Use a very
     high quality 5mm allen tool.A  Else the tool will rotate in the bolt
     head.A  Fortunately when that happens, you can drill off the head
     and the threaded portion is easily removed.
     It is helpful to have a good allen and extra allen bolts going into
     this project.

     Hello,
     My mechanic tells me that he needs a extractor tool for the carrier
     bearings in the diff in order to do the safety wiring on the bolts.
     Where could I borrow/rent/buy one ?
     Thanks,
     Konrad
