I bought an 86 Mustang GT with 5 lug cobra brakes and the whole deal for $1200. It also had a brand new 4:10 gear, brand new traction-lock, and brand new Moser 31 spline axles. I swapped the rear end with my car completely. I am now taking my old 4:10 gear out of my rear end and it is not having any of it. I bought my car when I was 17 four years ago and the 4:10 and exhaust were the only mods. Now I can't get the gear out! I can't pull the center pin (green circle) out due to the tiny pin (yellow circle) that holds it in. It seems that they over tightened the tiny pin and it broke in half inside the carrier. Does this make any sense to anyone? If not, here's a picture. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to sell these gears.-JORDAN
