Removing Out Flange (1 stuck)
 

HI, I'm in the process of replacing the output flange seals in my '96 ti. The passenger side came off, no problem, but the driver side is being difficult.

I followed Bentley and tried prying it off using a leveraged prybar, but it seems to be hanging up on the circlip. It only moved about 1/4" or so. Seems to be tighter on the splines than the passenger side as well.

Any one have a successful method for removing output flanges that are stuck? Appreciate the help.

never had one that a somewhat large flat-blade screwdriver couldn't take out. can't believe a leveraged prybar isn't doing it!
