Sometimes they can be a mf'r to get out of there. What I ended up doing was using a 2 jaw puller to get it out. I put a 1" think prybar across the case and used that to set the puller on. Then hook the jaws on each side of the differential and wrench it out of there. Once you get it pulled out about 1/4-1/2" it will come out fairly easy.

I have always used a prybar to pry between the housing and one of the ring gear bolts.

hold the carrier still with a large screwdriver through the hole that the center pin came out of and just rotate the pinion gear. it will push it right out for you
