Opppps, sorry, Midget pumpkin did not reach my brain, Spridget diffs are
different. So the straight round rod will not work, instead you need a
narrow flat bar to pass by the single shaft holding the spider gears in the
diff, about 1/4" a 1" x 30" flat bar should do it.

Simple, get a 3/8" or 1/2" steelrod about 30" long , go in from the open end
and tap the stuck axle out. The spider gear has a cross inside with a hole
in the center for the rod to pass through and allow you to tap out the stuck
axle. Piece of cake. Not unusual to have a stuck spline inside.

From a buddy and my books are NOT handy and
nothing just pops into my mind. Anybody got an
idea??

I'm helping a friend replace the hub seals and bearings on his MGTC. It
has a spridget pumpkin in a TC housing, and wire wheels. The right axle
came right out and is finished. The left axle comes out about 1" and will
not come out any farther. Its an old style TC axle that is a taper fit
with keyway to the outer hub. What could possibly be holding it in? Even
if the splines are twisted a bit, this sucker should have come out by now.
No way to pull the diff carrier till this bugger lets go.
Any thoughts besides a giant slide hammer?
Thanks,
Glen
