Tom's Nile GTi6

What are you trying to remove/achieve? You should be able to remove the diff cover with the shafts in place and the diff stay where it is, but I'm not sure what you're going to gain from doing that as haven't you stripped the thread on the casing? You won't be able to remove the diff itself, the speedo drive housing or the larger speedo drive cog with the driveshafts in place.
